Localization of TEC to 9q22.3-q31 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
The TEC gene encodes for a novel orphan nuclear receptor. Recently, it has been shown to be involved in the recurrent t(9;22) translocation observed in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, in a fusion gene with the EWS gene. We report her on its precise localization on chromosome 9 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
