Abstract

An oncogene designated HMGI(Y)-LAMA4* incorporates a HMGI(Y) domain fused through inversion and translocation to LAMA4*, a novel gene transcript with a epidermal-growth-factor-like/zinc-finger-like motif. Molecular characterization of HMGI(Y)-LAMA4* provides nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences useful for detection and treatment of certain tumors.
