Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma

Disease ID:340
Name:Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma
Associated with:1 target
Database Links
Disease Ontology: DOID:6496
OMIM: 612237
Orphanet: ORPHA209916

Targets

Neuron-derived orphan receptor 1
Role:  Three different versions of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (EMCs) are the result of reciprocal translocations between this gene and other genes.
Comments:  The translocation breakpoints are associated with Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 4, Group A, Member 3 (on chromosome 9) and either Ewing Sarcome Breakpoint Region 1 (on chromosome 22), RNA Polymerase II, TATA Box-Binding Protein-Associated Factor, 68-KD (on chromosome 17), or Transcription factor 12 (on chromosome 15).
