NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation, t(5;14)(q31;q32), which
results in the juxtaposition of a strong transcriptional enhancer from the immunoglobulin
heavy chain (IGH) gene locus with the promoter region of the IL3 gene. This rearrangement
is associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with hypereosinophilia.;
NCIt note : This fusion results in aberrant expression of the interleukin-3 protein.;
