The authors describe a sarcoma with a novel fusion between NUTM1 and MXI1, a member of the MAD gene family. Transcriptome analysis and in vitro studies showed that MXI1-NUTM1 partially phenocopied MYC, providing evidence that MAD family members, normally repressors of MYC activity, can be converted into MYC-like mimics by fusion to NUTM1.
