Molecular pathology of testicular germ cell tumours: an update for practicing pathologists. [PDF]
Molecular testing for isochromosome 12p is usually only necessary in difficult cases that encompass metastases or recurrent diseases including somatic‐type malignancies. So far, no breaking progress has been made in the field of targeted therapy as TGCTs only rarely show targetable molecular alterations.

PRDM14 is expressed in germ cell tumors with constitutive overexpression altering human germline differentiation and proliferation. [PDF]
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors occurring in gonadal and extragonadal locations. GCTs are hypothesized to arise from primordial germ cells (PGCs), which fail to differentiate.
