| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | FGFR 3 |
| Location | 4p16.3 |
| Protein | 115 kDa; contains, from N-term to C- term: an extracellular domain with a signal sequence and 3 Ig-like loops, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain with 2 tyrosine kinase domains. FGFR3 is a fibroblast growth factor receptor with tyrosine kinase activity; binding of ligand (FGF) induces receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation and signal transduction |
| Gene Name | ETV6 |
| Location | 12p13 |
| Protein | 53 and 57 kDa; contains, from N-term to C- term, an helix -loop-helix (HLH) domain (or"sterile alpha domain" SAM) responsible ofr dimerization, and a sequence specific DNA-binding domain (ETS domain); binds to 5' CCGGAAGT 3'; ETV6 is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors; transcriptional repressor |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
| Description | 5' ETV6-3'FGFR3; splicing variants (1618 and 1767 bp); the 1767 bp variant is an in frame fusion of ETV6 exon 5 to FGFR3 exon 10; both breakpoints are within exons; no reciprocal transcript. |
| Description | contains, from N-term to C- term, the HLH domain of ETV6 fused to the tyrosine kinase domains of FGFR3 |
