| Entity | BCAS4 is overexpressed in 3.5% of breast cancers, and a hybrid gene BCAS4-BCAS3 was found in breat cancer cell line with a t(17;20)(q23;q13) |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' BCAS4 is fused to the 2 last exons (23 and 24) of BCAS3; transcript includes exon 1 from BCAS4 and 21 bp from BCAS3 exon 23; it encodes a 66 aminoacids protein; no reciprocal transcript |
