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 translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22) ETV6-RUNX1 has been found in 25% of childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) , but are much less common (only 2%)  in adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) [2].  The ETV6-RUNX1 trans -

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].
