MECOM
Overview
MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus (MECOM) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional regulator and oncoprotein. The protein may also have roles in hematopoiesis, apoptosis, development, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.
