NCIt definition : Human DDIT3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q13.3 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 protein,
is involved in transcriptional suppression. Two translocations involving the gene,
t(12;16)(q13;p11) with the FUS gene and t(12;22)(q13;q12) with the EWSR1 gene, are
associated with myxoid liposarcoma.;
