Genes involved and Proteins

Note	The partner of EVI1 is yet unknown.

Gene Name	MECOM
Location	3q26.2
Protein	Transcrition factor; EVI1 targets include:GATA2, ZBTB16 /PLZF, ZFPM2/FOG2, JNK and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Role in cell cycle progression, likely to be cell-type dependant; antiapoptotic factor; involved in neuronal development organogenesis; role in hematopoietic differsntiation

To be noted

Additional cases are needed to delineate the epidemiology of this rare entity: you are welcome to submit a paper to our new Case Report section.
