Abstract
TheGlioma-associated homologue-1(GLI-1) gene was first discovered to be amplified in glioblastoma multiforme. It encodes for a zinc-finger transcription factor in the Kruppel family of proteins and is important in the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway.GLI-1also plays a role in several other pathways and is important for proliferation, migration, invasion, growth and angioinvasion, and cancer stem cell self-renewal in a variety of malignancies. GLI-1 is amplified in several malignancies, including an epithelioid, pericytomatous soft tissue neoplasm that can exhibit malignant behaviour. More recently,GLI-1fusions with other partner genes have been found in three rare tumours: a pericytomatous tumour with a t(7;12) translocation, where it partners withActin beta 1, and gastroblastoma and plexiform fibromyxoma, where the partner gene ismetastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1, respectively.
