TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral fusion translocation    
t(6;9)(q23.3;p22.3) translocation in adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) of the breast and head and neck results in fusions encoding chimeric transcripts predominantly consisting of MYB exon 14 linked to the last coding exon(s) of NFIB
tumoral fusion      
in a case of retroperitoneal lipoma, fusion of HMGA2 with NFIB with a t(9;16;19)(p22;q21;q13) and a rearrangement of NFIB and no rearrangement of HMGA2
tumoral     --over  
cooperates with RB1/TP53 deletion to promote small cell lung cancer

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Nfia and Nfix null mice exhibit no apparent pontine phenotype, implying specificity in the action of NFI family members
  • Nfib-deficient mice possess unique defects in lung maturation and exhibit callosal agenesis and forebrain defects that are similar to, but more severe than, those seen in Nfia-deficient animals
  • Nfib knockout embryos display multiple defects, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, enlarged ventricles, and hippocampal anomalies
  • Nfib(-/-) mice exhibit an increased number of proliferative ventricular zone cells that express progenitor cell markers and upregulation of Ezh2 expression within the neocortex and hippocampus
