NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from paracentric inversion of chromosome 12 which juxtaposes
the first 3 exons of the HGMA2 gene with exon 13 and part of the 3' untranslated region
of the ALDH2 gene. This fusion is associated with benign uterine leiomyoma.;
NCIt note : The fusion of the 3' untranslated region of the ALDH2 to the shortened HGMA2 gene
may contribute to the stabilization of the HMGA2/ALDH2 mRNA transcript. (Atlas of
Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology);
