Cardiac angiosarcoma (CAS) is a rare malignant tumour whose genetic basis is unknown. Here we show, by whole-exome sequencing of a
TP53
-negative Li–Fraumeni-like (LFL) family including CAS cases, that a missense variant (p.R117C) in
POT1
(
protection of telomeres 1
) gene is responsible for CAS. The same gene alteration is found...
