HMGA2
HMGA2 (High mobility group protein HMGI-C) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a fusion partner, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer and Oral cavity cancer.
Overview
Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Functions in cell cycle regulation through CCNA2. Plays an important role in chromosome condensation during the meiotic G2/M transition of spermatocytes.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.70 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 1.00, animal model 0.36, genetic association 0.49, somatic mutation 0.98).

- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Functions in cell cycle regulation through CCNA2.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at HMGA2 yet. Transcription factors have no pocket to plug, so drugs either degrade them or block the partner protein they need to dock on DNA.

Biology
Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Functions in cell cycle regulation through CCNA2. Plays an important role in chromosome condensation during the meiotic G2/M transition of spermatocytes. Plays a role in postnatal myogenesis, is involved in satellite cell activation. Positively regulates IGF2 expression through PLAG1 and in a PLAG1-independent manner. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 12q14.3 (HGNC).

- Oral cavity cancer: Open Targets association 0.52 with oral cavity cancer (MONDO_0005515)
Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: UniProt disease notes describe a translocation or gene fusion involving the gene. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
