| DNA/RNA |
| Description | full length cDNA: 1 627 bp |
| Transcription | a single open reading frame of 1 197 bp mRNA; putative ATG: bp 85; stop codon at bp 1 282; alternative splicing: multiple FOP transcript variants resulting from exon 7 or exon 11 splices |
| Protein |
![]() | |
| Description | 399 amino acids; predicted molecular mass: 44.3 kDa; Hydrophobic protein containing in its N- and C-termini several regions folding in a-helices with leucine-rich repeats with the consensus sequence L-X2-L-X3-5-L-X3-5-L, in one-third of which the leucine is substituted by either a valine or an isoleucine |
| Expression | ubiquitous expression |
| Localisation | cell cytoplasm |
| Function | unknown |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | t(6;8)(q27; p12) myeloproliferative disorder --> FOP - FGFR1 ; stem-cell myeloproliferative disorder associated with the 8p12 chromosomal translocations with fusions to the catalytic domain of FGFR1 |
| Disease | stem-cell myeloproliferative disorder characterized by myeloid hyperplasia, T -cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma and peripheral blood eosinophilia, and it generally progresses to acute myeloid leukemia; specific to the 8p12 chromosomal region. |
| Prognosis | very poor (median survival: 12 mths) |
| Cytogenetics | additional abnormalities: 2q+ and +21 |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' FOP - 3' FGFR1; localisation: der(6) |
| Abnormal Protein | N-term leucine-rich region from FOP fused to the catalytic domain of FGFR1 (FGFR1 intracellular region minus the major part of the juxtamembrane domain) |
![]() | |
| Oncogenesis | constitutive kinase activity of FGFR1 through constitutive activation of FGFR1 signal transduction pathways via putative constitutive dimerization capability mediated by the FOP N-term LRR sequences |
