tumoral     --over  
in acute myeloid leukemia
constitutional     --low  
by heavy methylation of the CpG islands in the promoter region was demonstrated in SSc scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) fibroblasts and skin biopsy specimens (epigenetic mechanisms may mediate the fibrotic manifestations of SSc)
tumoral fusion      
with EWSR1, t(11;22)(q24;q12) in Ewing sarcoma, cancer-specific molecule that binds to RHA essential for the function of EWS-FLI1 (Erkizan 2009)
tumoral     --low  
in in metastatic melanoma (Torlakovic 2008)
tumoral fusion      
fusion of SLC45A3 exon 1 with FLI1 exon 3 in prostate cancer
tumoral     --other  
deregulation of ETS1 and FLI1 contributes to the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
constitutional     --over  
in 5q- syndrome protects megakaryocytic cells from ribosomal stress contrary to erythroid cells and contributes to effective though dysplastic megakaryopoiesis
