ACTB/GLI1 Fusion Gene

Preferred Label : ACTB/GLI1 Fusion Gene;

NCIt synonyms : ACTB/GLI Fusion Gene; ACTB-GLI Fusion Gene; ACTB-GLI1 Fusion Gene; ACTB::GLI1 Fusion Gene;

NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(7;12)(p21-22;q13-15) which fuses exon 1, 2, or 3 of the ACTB gene upstream of exon 6 or 7 of the GLI1 gene. This rearrangement is associated with some pericytomas.;

NCIt note : It is likely that having the ACTB promoter upstream of the GLI1 gene causes overexpression of the fusion gene, which includes the domains in GLI1 that are involved in transcriptional activation.;
