Implicated in

Entity 1- Ewing tumours with: t(11;22)(q24;q12) --> FLI1 - EWSR1
Disease Ewing tumours: including Ewing's Sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour.
Cytogenetics t(11;22)(q24;q12) is found in 85% of cases of Ewing tumours.
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' FLI1; breakpoints clustered over a 2-3 kb genomic region and over a 30-40 kb genomic region.
Abnormal Protein oncogenic protein on the der(22) chromosome generated by fusion of the N terminal domain of EWS protein with DNA binding domain of human FLI1 protein.
Oncogenesis EWS -FLI1 is a dominant oncogene transformed cells by subverting normal transcriptional controls/FLI1 member of ETS family.
  
Entity Ewing tumours with t(21;22)(q21;q12) --> ERG - EWSR1
Disease Ewing tumours (Ewing's Sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour).
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' ERG; the orientation of the ERG gene might by from telomere to centromere, opposite to that demonstrated for EWS.
Abnormal Protein oncogenic protein on the der(22) chromosome generated by fusion of the N terminal domain of EWS protein with DNA binding domain of human ERG protein.
  
Entity Ewing tumours with t(7;22)(p22;q12) --> ETV1 - EWSR1
Disease Ewing tumours (Ewing's Sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour).
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' ETV1
  
Entity Ewing tumours with t(17;22)(q12;q12) --> E1AF - EWSR1
Disease Ewing tumours (Ewing's Sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour).
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' E1AF
  
Entity 2- t(11;22)(p13;q12) / Intra abdominal desmoplastic small round cell sarcoma (IADSRCT) --> WT1 - EWSR1
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' WT1; breakpoints: between EWS exons 7 and 8 and between WT1 exons 7 and 8
Abnormal Protein transcription activator.
  
Entity 3- t(12;22)(q13;q12) / malignant melanoma of soft parts--> ATF1 - EWSR1
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' ATF-1
Abnormal Protein N terminal domain of EWS fused to the bZIP domain of ATF1
  
Entity 4- t(9;22)(q22;q12) / Myxoid Chondrosarcoma--> TEC - EWSR1
Hybrid/Mutated Gene 5' EWS - 3' TEC (or CHN); the EWS/CHN gene fusion was not detected in any of the remaining cases suggesting genetic heterogeneite within extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas with t(9;17)(q22;q11)
