Our ETV6 break apart probe is designed to detect ETV6 translocations. The probe comes labeled in orange and green, but can be customized to meet your needs. 

Gene Background: ETV6 encodes a DNA-binding protein involved in transcriptional regulation during embryonic development and hematopoiesis.1 The gene is altered in 2.82% of all cancers with leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, non-small cell lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma having the highest frequency of alterations.1 So far, more than 40 ETV6 rearrangements and 30 fusion partners have been identified in a multitude of hematological and non-hematological malignancies.2,3

Gene Summary

This gene encodes an ETS family transcription factor. The product of this gene contains two functional domains: a N-terminal pointed (PNT) domain that is involved in protein-protein interactions with itself and other proteins, and a C-terminal DNA-binding domain. Gene knockout studies in mice suggest that it is required for hematopoiesis and maintenance of the developing vascular network. This gene is known to be involved in a large number of chromosomal rearrangements associated with leukemia and congenital fibrosarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

Primary mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of the lung: a case report

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a type of salivary gland tumor. A rearrangement in the ETV6 gene can be characteristic of MASC, particularly fusion of ETV6-NTRK3. Our dual-color break apart probe was used to detect ETV6 translocation and aid in the diagnosis of MASC for the patient's tumor.
