Abstract
Fibronectin 1 (FN1), located on chromosome 2q35, encodes fibronectin, a high molecular weight glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix. Several histologically overlapping chondroid matrix-producing tumors are known to harbor FN1 rearrangements, including soft tissue chondroma, synovial chondromatosis, calcifying aponeurotic fibroma, calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm and phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. Over the past 10 years, fusions involving the FN1 gene have also been identified in other mesenchymal neoplasms such as lipofibromatosis and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The current World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumors suggests that FN1-rearranged lesions are typically benign or intermediate. This review provides an updated overview of the clinical, histological and molecular genetic features of FN1-rearranged mesenchymal neoplasms and discusses their relationships with one another.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics (CGP) is an international peer-reviewed journal designed to publish rapidly high quality articles and reviews on the application of genomic and proteomic technology to basic, experimental and clinical cancer research. In this site you may find information concerning the editorial board, editorial policy, issue contents, subscriptions, submission of manuscripts and advertising. The first issue of CGP circulated in January 2004.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics is a journal of the International Institute of Anticancer Research. From January 2013 CGP is converted to an online-only open access journal.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics supports (a) the aims and the research projects of the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH and (b) the organization of the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH.
