TLDR
A detailed banded chromosome analysis was performed in five established Ewing's sarcoma cell lines originating from four unrelated patients in relapse, suggesting that t(11;22)(q24;q12) is a chromosomal change specific to ES cells, in which the rearranged chromosome #22 could be the consistent karyotypic feature and the crucial step in terms of cell proliferation.

Gene fusion with an ETS DNA-binding domain caused by chromosome translocation in human tumours

TL;DR: Phylogenetically conserved restriction fragments in the vicinity of EWSR1 and EWSR2, the genomic regions where the breakpoints of chromosome 22 and chromosome 11 are, respectively, have allowed identification of transcribed sequences from these regions and has indicated that a hybrid transcript might be generated by the translocation.

Chromosome aberrations and cancer

TL;DR: The association of consistent chromosome aberrations with particular types of cancer has led to the identification of some of these genes and the elucidation of their mechanisms of action.

Chromosomes in Ewing's sarcoma. I. An evaluation of 85 cases and remarkable consistency of t(11;22)(q24;q12)

TL;DR: The standard t(11;22)(q24;q12) proved to be a remarkably consistent event, present in 83% of the cases, and the breakpoint on chromosome 22q12 appears to be the most consistently observed event.

DNA-binding and transcriptional activation properties of the EWS-FLI-1 fusion protein resulting from the t(11;22) translocation in Ewing sarcoma.

TL;DR: The results suggest that EWS-FLI-1 contributes to the transformed phenotype of ES tumor cells by inducing the deregulated and/or unscheduled activation of genes normally responsive to FLI- 1 or to other close members of the Ets family.

Translocation of the c-myc gene into the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus in human Burkitt lymphoma and murine plasmacytoma cells

TL;DR: It is shown that transformation of human Burkitt lymphomas and murine plasmacytomas is frequently accompanied by the somatic rearrangement of a cellular analogue of an avian retrovirus transforming gene, c-myc, which provides a molecular basis for considering the role that specific translocations might play in malignant transformation.

Translocation and Rearrangements of the c-myc Oncogene Locus in Human Undifferentiated B-Cell Lymphomas

TL;DR: It is shown in this study that the c- myc locus is rearranged in 5 out of 15 cell lines from patients with undifferentiated B-cell lymphomas, and that the rearrangement involves a region at the 5' side of an apparently intact c-myc gene.
