SS18-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SS18L1 gene.Synovial sarcomas occur most frequently in the extremities around large joints. More than 90% of cases have a recurrent and specific chromosomal translocation t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) in which the 5-prime end of the SS18 gene (MIM 600192) is fused in-frame to the 3-prime end of the SSX1 (MIM 312820) SSX2 (MIM 300192) or SSX4 (MIM 300326) gene. The SS18L1 gene is homologous to SS18.[supplied by OMIM]
