 The DOL54 gene [also known as megakaryocyte stimulating factor, articular superficial zone protein (SZP) or proteoglycan 4 (PRG4)], was cloned as a downstream target gene of the FUS-DDIT3 chimera, which is the fusion gene that characterizes myxoid liposarcoma (MLS).     ///    The results of our study clearly show that expression of DOL54 is not only a characteristic feature of MLS with the FUS-DDIT3 chimera but that this is a frequent finding also in various other sarcomas..     ///    Expression of DOL54 is not restricted to myxoid liposarcomas with the FUS-DDIT3 chimera but is found in various sarcomas..
