A study of adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands by Drier and others delineates the mechanism of MYB gene pathway upregulation via rearrangements that increase MYB expression. ''MYB'' rearrangements typically juxtapose ''MYB'' with strong enhancers in regions downstream of ''NFIB, TGFBR3'' and ''RAD51B.'' Gene fusions most often occur on the 3' side of ''MYB'', a subset of gene fusions occur on the 5' side, and all serve to bring the ''MYB'' gene locus close to strong enhancer elements, thus upregulating MYB expression. The authors note that TP63 signaling is active in the myoepithelial component of low grade adenoid cystic carcinomas, while Notch signaling is active in luminal epithelial components. Furthermore, the authors suggest that Notch pathway mutations may underlie the switch to solid histology and the more aggressive clinical course of these tumors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Drier|first=Yotam|last2=Cotton|first2=Matthew J.|last3=Williamson|first3=Kaylyn E.|last4=Gillespie|first4=Shawn M.|last5=Ryan|first5=Russell J.
