HMG superfamilies differ by their DNA-binding domains. HMGAs bind via an AT-hook domain. For details on HMGA see HMGI(Y). HMGBs bind via box domain[1]. HMGNs bind via a nucleosome binding domain. Disease Rearrangements of the HMGA2 gene were detected in human benign lipoma tumors[2]. Relevance Overexpression of HMGB1 is associated with cancer and is targeted for cancer therapy[3].
