This ''ETV6'' gene, either as a translocation partner with dozens of partner genes or as simple substitution mutations is found at a low level in many cancers [https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/gene/analysis?ln=etv6 see COSMIC]), but is more prominent as a fusion protein in a number of hematological malignancies [1,2,[http://www.omim.org/entry/600618 see OMIM]].

The t(12;21)(p13;q22) resulting in ETV6-RUNX1 fusion has been found in 25% of childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), but are much less common in adult B-ALL (only 2%) [2].  The fusion protein produced by the translocation confers a dominant negative effect on the normal RUNX1 protein, resulting in transcriptional activation become transcriptional repression [1,2].  The t(12;21) confers a favorable prognosis with cures seen in >90% of childhood B-ALL [1].

''ETV6'' fused with ''PDGFRB'' has been found in patients with CMML (Golub et al. (1994) and chronic myeloproliferative disorder Apperley et al. (2002). acute lymphocytic leukemia ETV6/RUNX1 Golub et al. (1995).  The ETV6-PDGFRA fusion gene has been found in patients with chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL), and these patients responded to low-dose imatinib [1].

''ETV6'' fused with ''PDGFRB'' has been found in patients with CMML [6].

 

 

* Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia (CEL)

The ETV6-PDGFRA fusion gene has been found in patients with chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL), and these patients responded to low-dose imatinib [1].

==Gene Overview==

A large number of simple substitution mutations have been found spread throughout ''ETV6'' in a large number of human malignancies at relatively low percentages ([https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/gene/analysis?ln=etv6 see COSMIC] and [http://www.cancerindex.org/geneweb/ETV6.htm see Cancer Index]).

''ETV6'' has also been identified as a fusion partner in at least 30 chromosomal translocations [3, [http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/ETV6ID38.html Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology], [http://www.omim.org/entry/600618 OMIM]]. These fusions include:  

''ETV6'' has also been identified as a fusion partner in at least 30 chromosomal translocations and is frequently deleted either with or without the remaining allele being involved in a translocation [3, [http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/ETV6ID38.html Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology], [http://www.omim.org/entry/600618 OMIM]]. Some of these fusions include:  

- ETV6/PDGFRB
