FUSION GENES
DNA/RNA

Description
10 144 bp; 8 exons, 7 introns
Transcription
HMGI and HMGY are encoded by the same gene and are generated trough alternative splicing; exons 1-4 are not transcribed, exons 5-7 encode three DNA binding domains; exon 5 contains a 33 bp segment subject to alternative splicing; exon 8 encodes the acidic carboxy-terminal end; RNA length: 1.85 kb.
Proteins

Description
107 amino acids; three DNA binding domains (AT hooks)
Expression
expressed in embryonal cells; expressed in a variety of normal human adult tissues such as heart, brain, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, testis, ovary, small intestine, submandibular gland and leukocytes; expressed in transformed cells with a malignant phenotype and in human malignant tumors such as prostate, thyroid carcinoma and colorectal carcinomas and a subset of benign lipomas.
Localisation
nuclear
Function
Homology
member of the HMGI protein family, structural (but not expression pattern) homology with HMGIC
Mutations
Somatic
HMGIY is found involved in chromosome rearrangements in benign tumours, mainly mesenchymal tumors
Implicated in
Entity name
Pulmonary chondroid hamartoma
Disease
benign tumor of the lung
Prognosis
good
Cytogenetics
the most frequent rearrangement is a reciprocal balanced translocation t(6;14) (p21.3; q24); the rearrangement between chromosomes 6 and 14 can sometimes be complex, identifiable by FISH; molecular results also suggest that the translocations might be more complex than shown by conventional cytogenetics, with the presence of additional cryptic rearrangements; translocations involving partner chromosomes other than chromosome 14, such as chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 17 have also been reported; inversions inv(6)(p21q21) or inv(6)(p21.3q26) have been described
Hybrid gene
in most cases, the breakpoint was extragenic, located within a 80 kb region 3 of HMGIY; aberrant transcripts with truncation of sequences from the 3 UTR have been described; in only one case with inversion inv(6)(p21q21), a hybrid intragenic fusion has been reported: HMGIY was fused to the LAMA4 (laminin a4 chain) gene

Fusion protein
the HMGIY-LAMA4 resulted from the fusion of the three HMGIY DNA-binding domains with the LAMA4 EGF-like domain
Oncogenesis
the exact role of HMGI(Y)-LAMA4 fusion is not established yet
Entity name
Lipomas
Disease
benign adipocyte tumors
Prognosis
good
Cytogenetics
a small subset (5-8%) of ordinary lipomas is characterized by 6p21 rearrangements, the most frequent of which being a reciprocal translocation t(3;6)(q28;p21); in contrast to other benign mesenchymal tumors with 6p21 rearrangement, there is no evidence of HMGIY rearrangements in ordinary lipomas yet; however, to be noticed, the breakpoint on 6p21 was shown to be located whithin a 80 kb region surrounding HMGIY in one lipoma case and HMGIY expression was correlated with 6p rearrangements in two ordinary lipomas and two spindle cell lipomas
Entity name
Uterine leiomyoma
Disease
benign mesenchymal tumors
Prognosis
good
Cytogenetics
approximately 40% of uterine leiomyomas present structural chromosomal rearrangements, 5% of which involve 6p abnormalities; they include t(1;6)(q23;p21), t(6;14)(p21;q24) and t(6;10)(p21;q22) as well as inversions and translocations involving other chromosomal partners; the rearrangements are sometimes complex, only identifiable by FISH analysis
Hybrid gene
no hybrid gene has been described yet; as for other mesenchymal tumors, the breakpoint was extragenic, located within a 80 kb region 3 of HMGIY; one case of aberrant transcript with truncation of 1295 bp from the 3 UTR has been described
Fusion protein
HMGIY mRNA and protein levels do not always correlate, suggesting that post-transcriptional mechanisms are involved in the regulation of HMGIY
Entity name
Endometrial polyps
Disease
uterine benign tumors
Prognosis
good
Cytogenetics
several chromosomal abnormalities involving the 6p21.3 region, including translocations, deletions, inversions have been described; various chromosomal partner regions, such as 14q24, 20q13, 2q35, 10q22, 8q12, 1p32, 7p15, 15q21, have been described to be associated with 6p21.3 in reciprocal translocations.
Hybrid gene
no hybrid gene has been described yet; as for other mesenchymal tumors, the breakpoint is extragenic, located within a 80 kb region 3 of HMGIY
Entity name
Hamartoma of the breast
Disease
benign tumor-like nodule of the breast, also called adenolipoma
Prognosis
good
Cytogenetics
one case with a t(1 ;6)(p21 ;21), involving the HMGIY gene has been described
Entity name
Microfollicular adenoma of the thyroid
Disease
epithelial tumors
Prognosis
favorable
Cytogenetics
one case with a t(1;6)(p35;21) correlated with an overexpression of HMGIY has been described
