| DNA/RNA |
| Description | spans on a 35 kb genomic fragment; two exons separated by a large intron; small GTPase encoding gene |
| Transcription | 2.2 kb mRNA; coding sequence: 575 bp, located in the second exon |
| Protein |
| Description | 191 amino acids; 21 kDa; contains a GTP binding motif, a GTPase activity site, and a membrane localisation signal (CAAX box) in the very C-term |
| Expression | restricted to the hemopoietic tissues |
| Localisation | plasmic membrane |
| Function | small GTPase of the Rho subfamily; involved in signal transduction and cytoskeletal reorganization |
| Homology | with all GTPases of the Ras superfamily |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | t(3;4)(q27;p13)/NHL --> BCL6 - RHOH |
| Disease | follicular NHL |
| Cytogenetics | observed as a secondary anomaly |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' RHOH - 3' BCL6 and 5' BCL6 - 3' RHOH, leading to two fusion transcripts |
| Abnormal Protein | no fusion protein, but promoter exchange between both partner genes |
| Entity | t(4;14)(p13;q32)/multiple myeloma --> RHOH - ?? |
| Disease | multiple myeloma |
| Prognosis | still unknown: only 1 available case |
| Cytogenetics | observed as a unique anomaly |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | not yet known (under study) |
