Abstract excerpt
High-mobility group (HMG) proteins are nonhistone nuclear proteins that play an important role in the regulation of chromatin structure and function. HMGI-C and HMGI(Y) are members of the HMGI family of HMG proteins, and their expression in adult tissues generally correlates with malignant tumor phenotypes. However, HMGI-C and HMGI(Y) dysregulation as a result of specific rearrangements involving 12q15 and 6p21,...
