Abstract excerpt
HMGIC, a high-mobility-group protein gene encoding an architectural transcription factor, was recently identified as the target of gene fusion in a variety of human benign mesenchymal tumors; some of these events were chromosomal translocations involving 12q13-15. HMGIC consists of three DNA-binding domains (encoded by exons 1-3), a spacer, and an acidic carboxyl-terminal regulatory domain (exons 4-5). To...
