Abstract excerpt
Cancer arises from aberrations in the genetic mechanisms that control growth and differentiation. HMGI-C and HMGI(Y) are members of the HMGI family of architectural factors expressed in embryonic or undifferentiated cells and highly associated with transformation. Translocations of 12q13-15 in lipomas (fat cell tumors) disrupt HMGI-C and fuse its DNA-binding domains to novel transcriptional regulatory domains....
