TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral     --over  
by hypermethylation in a variety of cancers, confering growth or survival advantages by antagonizing RAR signaling
tumoral     --over  
in acute myeloid leukemia
tumoral     --other  
aberrantly expressed in chronic lymphoproliferative disorders
tumoral     --low  
in acute myeloblastic leukaemias that carried the chromosomal translocation t(8;21), which fuses the genes AML1 and ETO
tumoral     --over  
associates with clinicopathologic markers of poor outcome in head and neck cancer and might identify potential candidates with pre-cancerous lesions for chemoprevention with retinoids
tumoral     --over  
in the vast majority of myxoid liposarcomas, and their high-level expression correlated with tumour grade and poor prognosis
