NCIt definition : Human TRIM24 wild-type allele is located within 7q32-q34 and is approximately 130
kb in length. This allele, which encodes transcription intermediary factor 1-alpha
protein, is involved in transcriptional regulation. Genetic mutation and a translocation
t(7;10)(q32;q11) involving this gene and the human RET gene are associated with thyroid
papillary carcinoma.;
NCIt note : The TRIM24 gene may be associated with breast cancer because it plays a role in the
positive regulation of estrogen-dependent gene expression. (Nature. 2010; 468: 927-932.);
