Francois Le Loarer, Franck Tirode and colleagues identify a new class of undifferentiated thoracic sarcomas characterized by inactivation of SMARCA4, which encodes an ATPase subunit of BAF chromatin-remodeling complexes. They further show that these tumors exhibit transcriptional profiles similar to those of other BAF-deficient malignancies.
