It is well established that the majority of myxoid/round cell liposarcomas (LPS) are characterized by a reciprocal translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) which at the molecular level results infusion of the CHOP and FUS/TLS genes. It is assumed that functional characterization of these genes may provide in

## Abstract The clinical course of myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL) is characterized by frequent local recurrences and metastases at unusual sites. MRCLs carry specific translocations, t(12;16) or rarely t(12;22), linking the __FUS__ or the __EWSR1__ gene with the __DDIT3__ gene, respectively.
Southern blot analyses revealed a rearrangement of the EWS gene in a skeletal human myxoid chondrosarcoma. lnterphase fluorescence in sitiu hybridization (FISH) studies, using cosmid clones F7 and G9 that flank the EWS locus on 22q12, confirmed the presence of thlis EWS gene abnormality. Cloning the
