STAG2 mutations have been reported in ~6% of acute myeloid leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes (Kon et al., 2013; Thota et al., 2014; Walter et al., 2012), 15–22% of Ewing’s sarcomas (Brohl et al., 2014; Crompton et al., 2014; Tirode et al., 2014), and in up to 26% of bladder cancers of various stages and grades (Balbás-Martínez et al., 2013; Guo et al., 2013; Solomon et al., 2013; Taylor et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene STAG2 and urinary bladder carcinoma.
