PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 fusion genes in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is an aggressive neoplasm with unique t(2;13)(q35;q14) or t(1;13)(p36;q14) chromosomal translocations, resulting in PAX3/FOXO1 and PAX7/FOXO1 fusion genes, in approximately 80% of cases.
These translocations and their gene fusions have not been identified in other neoplasms, making their identification an attractive target for applying ancillary diagnostic (...)

MTG16
29 September 2008Pathology
Transcription co-repressor MTG16 modulates colitis and tumor development in inflammatory carcinogenesis. MTG16 is a tumor suppressor in colitis-associated carcinoma. doi:10.1172/jci.insight.78210.
RUNX1-MTG16 fusion gene in acute myeloblastic leukemia (#18656694#) The significant homology between MGT16 and MTG8 suggests that the RUNX1-MTG16 fusion gene induced by the t(16;21)(q24;q22) is a variant of the RUNX1-MTG8 that shares similar activity.

TMPRSS2
14 November 2005Prostate cancer
TMPRSS2 gene fusions with ETS transcription factor family members ERG, ETV1, or ETV4 have been recently discovered as a common molecular event in prostate cancer.
Although several studies have been done, the clinical utility of TMPRSS2 genetic alterations as biomarkers for prostate carcinoma remains indeterminate.
No normal prostate samples show TMPRSS2 translocation or deletion.
Sixty-two percent (62%) patients of prostate carcinomas demonstrate TMPRSS2 gene (...) -

BCL6
17 February 2005LAZ3, ZNF51 WKP
Definition: The BCL6 gene is a proto-oncogene, that encodes for a zinc-finger transcriptional repressor acting on a series of target genes implicated in T and B cell maturation, cell cycle control, apoptosis or inflammation.
Its down regulation is necessary for the post-germinal center B cell maturation, whereas its expression is crucial for the germinal center formation.
BCL6 is a zinc-finger transcription repressor normally expressed exclusively within GC B cells, (...) -
