Probe information

Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is the most common subtype of liposarcoma¹. The TLS-CHOP (FUS-DDIT3) t(12;16)(q13.3;p11) fusion gene, firstly described by Turc-Carel et al. in 1986², is now well established and is present in at least 95% of MLS³.

In rare cases, an EWS-CHOP (EWSR1-DDIT3) t(12;22)(q13;q12) translocation has been described⁴. The transcription factor gene, CHOP (DDIT3) (CREBP-homologous protein/DNA damage inducible transcript 3), is a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation⁵.

The TLS (Translocated in Liposarcoma)⁶ or FUS⁷ gene is a nuclear RNA-binding protein with extensive sequence similarity to EWS. The TLS-CHOP protein interferes with adipocyte differentiation and favours proliferation over terminal differentiation⁴.
