About SS18L2

Cytogenetic location: 3p22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:42,581,840-42,596,934 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 8.2), prostate (RPKM 6.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Synovial sarcomas occur most frequently in the extremities around large joints. More than 90% of cases have a recurrent and specific chromosomal translocation, t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2), in which the 5-prime end of the SS18 gene (MIM 600192) is fused in-frame to the 3-prime end of the SSX1 (MIM 312820), SSX2 (MIM 300192), or SSX4 (MIM 300326) gene. The SS18L2 gene is homologous to SS18.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002]
