Figure 1) Overview of the genetic alterations in rare adenocarcinomas of urinary bladder. A–C) OncoPrints highlighting mutations in top 30 (urachal and primary bladder adenocarcinomas, A and B, respectively) and top 15 (urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation, C) most frequently affected genes. (01/31/2023)
Figure 2) Comparison of the genetic features of bladder malignancies and colorectal carcinoma. A) Venn-diagram showing common and unique frequently affected genes of urachal cancer (UrC), primary bladder adenocarcinoma (PBAC) and urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation (UCg). Detailed list of genes is displayed in panel B) Comparison of the genetic features of glandular bladder malignancies and urothelial carcinoma (UC) and colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Analysis was carried out on the top 30 (UrC, PBAC) and top 15 (UCg) most frequently mutated genes. C–G) Comparison of the top 10 most frequently mutated genes of each malignancy to other analyzed cancer types. Columns representing the selected malignancy are marked with boarders. If columns are not displayed that implies 0% mutational rate unless differentiate with asterisks. (last update: 01/31/2023)
Figure 3) Overview of selected signaling pathways with frequent mutations of urachal carcinoma and primary bladder adenocarcinoma. A–C) Selected signaling pathways (cell-cycle, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)–Ras and Wnt pathways) based on Pancancer TCGA dataset and PathwayMapper visual tool [59]. Created in BioRen der. Der, B. (2025) (https://BioRender.com/h75f210, https://BioRender.com/ q73s936, https://BioRender.com/ u94o889). Mutational frequencies in UrC are highlighted with green and PBAC with magenta colors for each gene and for the whole pathway (bottom). (last update: 01/31/2023)
