Abstract excerpt
The chromosomal translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) is a common genetic alteration in myxoid and round-cell liposarcomas. It results in transcription of various chimeric FUS/CHOP fusion transcripts that encode different oncogenic proteins. Recent reports suggest that these may have different neoplastic transformation activities. To audit this hypothesis, we transfected expression plasmids for the two major variant...
