NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from chromosomal translocation t(X;17)(p11.2;q25) or der(X)t(X;17)(p11;q25)
which fuses exon 2 or 3 of the TFE gene to the 3' half of the ASPSCR1 gene. This fusion
is associated with both alveolar soft part sarcoma and primary renal cell carcinoma.;
NCIt note : The TFE3/ASPSCR1 fusion transcript is found more often in patients with renal cell
carcinoma and rarely in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma.;
