Abstract excerpt
The high mobility group A (HMGA) proteins are non-histone chromosomal proteins implicated in the organization of chromatin structure and in the assembly of protein complexes on the promoters of several inducible genes. Rearrangements of HMGA1 and HMGA2 genes, consequent to chromosomal translocation, have been frequently detected in human benign tumours of mesenchymal origin including lipomas. We have demonstrated...
