biostudies-literatureUnknown138(24)Sportoletti PThe BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) is a transcription factor involved in the control of embryogenesis, mesenchymal stem cells function, hematopoiesis, and lymphoid development. Recurrent somatic clonal mutations of the BCOR gene and its homolog BCORL1 have been detected in several hematologic malignancies and aplastic anemia. They are scattered across the whole gene length and mostly represent frameshifts (deletions, insertions), nonsense, and missence mutations. These disruptive events lead to the loss of full-length BCOR protein and to the lack or low expression of a truncated form of the protein, both consistent with the tumor suppressor role of BCOR.BCOR and BCORL1 mutations are similar to those causing 2 rare X-linked diseases: oculofaciocardiodental (OFCD) and Shukla-Vernon syndromes, respeBlood2455-2468https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8887995biostudies-literatureBCOR gene alterations in hematologic diseases.PMC8887995Falini BSorcini DSportoletti PfalseBCOR gene alterations in hematologic diseases.The BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) is a transcription factor involved in the control of embryogenesis, mesenchymal stem cells function, hematopoiesis, and lymphoid development.
