NCIt definition : Human SUZ12 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q11.2 and is approximately
64 kb in length. This allele, which encodes polycomb protein SUZ12, is involved in
the coordination of embryonic development and the mediation of histone methylation.
A chromosomal aberration involving this gene, translocation t(7;17)(p15;q21) with
the JAZF1 gene, is associated with endometrial stromal tumors.;
NCIt note : The translocation of the JAZF1-SUZ12 genes generates a gene product consisting of
the N-terminus part of JAZF1 and the C-terminus part of SUZ12. (SwissProt);
