In the second tumor, the inv(12) detected by karyotyping had resulted in an HMGA2-SOX5 fusion transcript in which exons 1–3 of HMGA2 were fused with a sequence from intron 1 of SOX5. The observed pattern is similar to rearrangements of HMGA2 found in several other benign mesenchymal tumors, i.e., disruption of the HMGA2 locus leaves intact exons 1–3 which encode the AT-hook domains and separates them from the 3′-terminal part of the gene. The gene discussed is HMGA2; the disease is mesenchymal cell neoplasm.
