NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14) which
fuses intron 1 of the FOXO1 gene with intron 7 of the PAX3 gene. This rearrangement
is associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.;
NCIt note : The FOXO1/PAX3 fusion gene is not detectable in 10% of PAX3/FOXO1 fusion gene positive
tumors. (Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology);
