86% of GNAS-mutated non-mucinous adenocarcinomas (6/7) were positive for TTF-1 immunohistochemistry, while only 25% of GNAS-mutated IMAs (1/4) were positive for TTF-1.

Mucinous carcinomas are a rare entity accounting for up to 2% of all breast cancers, which have been shown to display a gene expression profile distinct from that of invasive ductal carcinomas of no special type (IDC-NSTs).

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung is a subtype of highly invasive pulmonary tumors and is associated with decreased or absent expression of the transcription factor NK2 homeobox 1 (NKX2-1; also known as TTF-1).
APC inactivation and K-ras mutations occurred more frequently in NMC (APC, 88%, p<0.001; K-ras, 58%, p=0.01) than in MC (APC, 24%; K-ras, 28%) regardless of MSI status.
Cdx2 was expressed in normal colorectal epithelium, in primary colorectal adenocarcinomas (20/20 cases), in secondary adenocarcinomas of colorectal (3/3) and gastric (3/4) origin, and in metastatic ovarian mucinous adenocarcinomas (2/2).
Rsf-1 overexpression was observed in 25% of high-grade ovarian serous carcinomas and in only rare cases (<7%) of low-grade ovarian serous, ovarian endometrioid, and invasive breast carcinomas but not in any ovarian serous borderline tumors, ovarian clear cell carcinomas, ovarian mucinous carcinomas, intraductal carcinomas of the breast, and normal ovaries and breast tissues.
EGFR mutations were observed in 27.9% (19/68) in serous adenocarcinomas, 15.0% (3/20) in clear cell adenocarcinomas, and 66.7% (2/3) in mucinous adenocarcinomas, while no mutations were observed in endometrioid adenocarcinomas (0/11).
PPP2R1A mutations were demonstrated in 10 of 110 type I ovarian tumors (9.1%) including low-grade serous, low-grade endometrioid, clear-cell, and mucinous carcinomas.
