  Summary Information

ELK1; ELK1, member of ETS oncogene family

Location: Xp11.2

Overview: The ELK1 gene (Xp11.2) is a member of the ETS oncogene superfamily and was first identified in 1989. It is located near the translocation breakpoint seen in synovial sarcoma: t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) which fuses the SSXT gene (18q11) to either SSX1 or SSX2 (both located at Xp11.2).
