Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-005974

A gene that causes a rare type of cancer called NUT midline carcinoma, when it is mutated (changed). The mutation occurs when a piece of the chromosome containing the NUT gene breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. In its natural, unchanged form, the NUT gene codes for a protein found in germ cells (reproductive cells) in the testicles and ovaries.
