Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology
Dear Colleagues,
The Atlas, once more, is in great danger, and I will have to proceed to a collective economic lay-off of all the team involved in the Atlas before the begining of April 2015 (a foundation having suddenly withdrawn its commitment to support the Atlas). I ask you herein if any Scientific Society (a Society of Cytogenetics, of Clinical Genetics, of Hematology, or a Cancer Society, or any other...), any University and/or Hospital, any Charity, or any database would be interested in taking over the Atlas, in whole or in part. If taking charge of the whole lot is too big, a consortium of various actors could be the solution (I am myself trying to find partners). Could you please spread the information, contact the relevant authorities, and find partners.
Survival of the Atlas will be critically dependant upon your ability to find solutions (and urgently!).
Kind regards.
Jean-Loup Huret jlhuret@AtlasGeneticsOncology.org
Donations are also welcome
If each casual visitor gives 3 Euros or Dollars, the Atlas is saved in a week !
If each professional gives 100 Euros or Dollars once a year (now), the Atlas is saved in 2 weeks !
Don't let the Atlas imminent demise
Note: we send fiscal receipts for donations equal or above 50 Euros or Dollars
SMARCB1 (SW1/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin B1)
| Identity |
| Other names | hSNF5 |
| SNF5L1 | |
| INI1 (integrase interactor 1) | |
| BAF47 (BRG1-associated factor) | |
| HGNC (Hugo) | SMARCB1 |
| LocusID (NCBI) | 6598 |
| Location | 22q11.23 |
| Location_base_pair | Starts at 24129150 and ends at 24176705 bp from pter ( according to hg19-Feb_2009) [Mapping] |
| Local_order | distal to BCR |
| DNA/RNA |
| Description | spans over 50 kb; 9 exons |
| Transcription | alternative splicing including/excluding exon 2 |
| Protein |
| Description | 385 amino acids; 47 kDa ; a DNA binding domain and 2 repeat motifs |
| Localisation | nucleus; associated with the chromatin and with the nuclear matrix |
| Function | binds and activates human immunodeficiency virus integrase; member of the SWI/SNF complex, thought to facilitate the transcriptional activation of inducible genes through the remodelling of the chromatin; could be involved in the chromatin organization associated with the nuclear matrix attachment; could also have a role in the cell cycle control, through binding to P105-Rb |
| Homology | with SNF5 (yeast transcription factor) |
| Mutations |
| Germinal | found in the rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome |
| Somatic | mutation and allele loss events in sporadic rhabdoid tumors are consistent with the two-hit model of Knutson; deletion of the entire gene on one allele (sometimes due to translocations involving 22q11), and mutation (frameshift mutations, widely dispersed through the entire gene and leading to stop codons) on the other allele |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | rhabdoid tumor |
| Disease | tumor of uncertain origin, occuring in early childhood |
| Prognosis | highly aggressive; 80% mortality rate |
| Cytogenetics | normal karyotype or t(Var; 22)(-;q11.2) |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | no hybrid gene but inactivation of both alleles |
| Entity | rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | germline mutation on one allele, predisposing to a rabdoid tumor (and perhaps to tumors of the central nervous system) when the other allele is also inactivated |
| Other Solid tumors implicated (Data extracted from papers in the Atlas) |
| Solid Tumors | AmeloblastomID5945 | MedulloblastomaID5065 |
