NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(1;12)(p36;p13) which
fuses exons 1 and 2 of the ETV6 gene to exons 6 and 7 of the MDS2 gene. This fusion
may be associated with myeloid disorders.;
NCIt note : The ETV6/MDS2 fusion gene has been observed in one case of chronic myelogenous leukemia
with t(9;22). (Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology); The protein product of the ETV6/MDS2 fusion gene is a truncated form of the transcription
factor ETV6 protein.;
