About: NUT carcinoma

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

NUT carcinoma (NC; formerly NUT midline carcinoma (NMC)) is a rare genetically defined, very aggressive squamous cell epithelial cancer that usually arises in the midline of the body and is characterized by a chromosomal rearrangement in the nuclear protein in testis gene (i.e. NUTM1 gene). In approximately 75% of cases, the coding sequence of NUTM1 in band 14 on the long (or "q") arm of chromosome 15 is fused to BRD4 or BRD3, which creates a chimeric gene that encodes the BRD-NUT fusion protein. The remaining cases, the fusion of NUTM1 is to an unknown partner gene, usually called NUT-variant.

dbo:abstract
  • NUT carcinoma (NC; formerly NUT midline carcinoma (NMC)) is a rare genetically defined, very aggressive squamous cell epithelial cancer that usually arises in the midline of the body and is characterized by a chromosomal rearrangement in the nuclear protein in testis gene (i.e. NUTM1 gene). In approximately 75% of cases, the coding sequence of NUTM1 in band 14 on the long (or "q") arm of chromosome 15 is fused to BRD4 or BRD3, which creates a chimeric gene that encodes the BRD-NUT fusion protein. The remaining cases, the fusion of NUTM1 is to an unknown partner gene, usually called NUT-variant. The name NUT carcinoma was introduced as the carcinoma does not only occur in the body midline; therefore, WHO also changed the name in 2015 in the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Lung, Pleura, Thymus and Heart.
