Abstract:Clinical sequencing efforts are uncovering numerous fusion genes in childhood solid tumors, yet few methods exist to delineate fusion-oncogenes from structural changes of unknown significance. One such novel fusion gene is VGLL2-NCOA2, which was described by us and others in patients with congenital sarcomas but has lacked functional validation. To determine if this fusion is an oncogene, and how it is driving disease, we developed a vertebrate zebrafish model and mouse allograft model of human VGLL2-NCOA2 dri… Show more
