A majority of adenoid cystic carcinomas (AdCC)-rare tumors of the salivary gland and some other organs-have recently been found to be driven by chromosomal translocations resulting in MYB-NFIB fusions. Brayer and colleagues and Mitani and colleagues have now reported that AdCCs can alternatively be driven by similar rearrangements involving a second MYB family gene, MYBL1, and that these two drivers act in remarkably similar ways.
大多数腺样囊性癌(AdCC)——一种罕见的唾液腺和其他一些器官肿瘤——最近被发现是由染色体易位导致 MYB-NFIB 融合驱动的。Brayer 及其同事和 Mitani 及其同事现在报告称,AdCC 也可以由涉及第二个 MYB 家族基因 MYBL1 的类似重排驱动,并且这两个驱动因素的作用方式非常相似。
