NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a rearrangement of chromosome 2 which fuses exon 6
of the PAX3 gene to either exon 12 of the NCOA1 gene. This rearrangement is associated
with rare variants of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.;
NCIt note : Wachtel, M. et. al. indicate that the PAX3-NCOA1 fusion gene results from a chromosomal
translocation t(2;2)(q35;p23). (Cancer Res. 2004; 64:5539-45.);
