Description

The fusion oncoprotein EWS-FLI1 arises from a t(11;22)(q24;q12) chromosomal translocation and causes Ewing's Sarcoma, a malignant bone tumor. The mechanism whereby EWS-FLI1 transforms cells is unknown. Somatic, mosaic expression of human EWS-FLI1 in zebrafish from the heat shock promoter [Tg(HSP:EWS-FLI1)] caused small round blue cell tumors (SRBCTs) similar to human Ewing's sarcoma.
