Several partner genes on different chromosomes have been reported to be fused with the ETV6 gene (located in chromosome band 12p13), with different breakpoints and different frequencies, in various hematologic malignancies, particularly acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemias and myelodysplastic syndro
The ETV6 (TEL) locus at chromosome band 12p13 is a major site of translocations in acute leukemia, particularly in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In cases with translocations involving ETV6, the normal ETV6 allele is often deleted. In addition, loss of heterozygosity of ETV6 is freque
