NCIt synonyms : CTA-150C2.14-001; APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B Deletion Hybrid Gene;
NCIt related terms : APOBEC3A_B;
NCIt definition : A fusion gene ( 10 kb) that results from the deletion of approximately 29.5 kb of
sequence between the APOBEC3A gene and the adjacent APOBEC3B gene. The deletion hybrid
is predicted to have the promoter and coding region of APOBEC3A, but the 3' UTR of
APOBEC3B. This mutation results in an APOBEC3B null phenotype, which would impact
antiretroviral defense processes, and may be associated with an increased risk of
breast carcinoma and other neoplastic diseases.;
