NPM1/ALK Fusion Gene

Preferred Label : NPM1/ALK Fusion Gene;

NCIt synonyms : ALK/NPM1 Fusion Gene; NPM-ALK Fusion Gene; NPM1-ALK Fusion Gene; NPM1::ALK Fusion Gene;

NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(2;5)(p23;q35) which fuses the first 4 exons of the NPM1 gene with the last ten exons of the ALK gene. This fusion is associated with both anaplasic large cell lymphoma and rare cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.;
