What is EWSR1 Gene (Ewing's Sarcoma)?

EWSR1 gene is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called EWS RNA-binding protein 1. This protein is involved in the process of transcription, which is the first step in gene expression. Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects bones or the soft tissue around bones. It is caused by a fusion of the EWSR1 gene with another gene, most commonly the FLI1 gene. This fusion results in the production of a protein that drives the development of cancer cells.

Genetic testing for the EWSR1 gene can help diagnose Ewing's sarcoma and determine the best course of treatment.

Symptoms of EWSR1 Gene (Ewing's Sarcoma)

The symptoms of Ewing's sarcoma can vary depending on the location of the tumor. Common symptoms include:

• Pain and swelling in the affected area
• Difficulty moving the affected area
• Fever
• Weight loss
• Fatigue
• Bone fractures (if the tumor is in a bone)

Diagnosis of EWSR1 Gene (Ewing's Sarcoma)

Diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma usually involves a combination of imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans, as well as a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Genetic testing for the EWSR1 gene can also be performed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment.
