Further analysis identified several tumor-associated genes as targets of GATA2 activation including BAG3 and EPOR. In addition, the correlation between KMT2A-USP2 fusion and GATA2 activation not only indicates a potential trans-activating mechanism of GATA2 but also suggests that GATA2 is a target of KMT2A-USP2. Here, GATA2 is linked to neoplasm.
