NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from an inversion involving the q arm of chromosome 11
that fuses the fourth exon of the APOA1 gene with the first intron of the APOC3 gene.
This fusion is associated with combined apoA-I and apoC-III deficiency. The transcripts
from this fusion gene do not produce functional apolipoproteins.;
NCIt note : The APOA1 and APOC3 genes are arranged such that the 3-prime end of the APOA1 gene
is followed after an interval of about 2.5 kb by the 3-prime end of the APOC3 gene
on chromosome 11.;
