NCIt synonyms : RIAZ; POZ (BTB) and AT Hook Containing Zinc Finger 1 wt Allele; MAZR; MAZ-Related Factor Gene; Zinc Finger Protein 278 Gene; ZSG; ZNF278; PATZ; dJ400N23; ZBTB19;
NCIt definition : Human PATZ1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q12.2 and is approximately
20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes POZ-, AT hook-, and zinc finger-containing
protein 1, plays a role in the negative regulation of transcription. A chromosomal
inversion inv(22)(q12q12) of this gene and the EWSR1 gene is associated with Ewing
sarcoma.;
NCIt note : The inversion on chromosome 22 can be translocated to chromosome 1. Inversion inv(22)(q12q12)
followed by translocation t(1;22)(p34;q12) fuses the PATZ1 gene and the EWSR1 gene,
disrupts the UQCRH gene and is associated with desmoplastic small round cell tumor.
