The molecular genetic landscape of leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is largely unknown. Here, the authors identify frequent DNA copy number alterations, whole-genome duplication, TP53 and RB1 inactivation, alternative telomere lengthening, and genomic imprints of defective DNA repair via homologous recombination as a potential therapeutic target in LMS patients.
