TCF3

MIM.147141 19p13.3

Tuesday 8 June 2004

Pathology

- TCF3/PBX1 fusion gene by t(1;19)(q23;13.3) in B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  • The t(1;19)(q23;p13.3) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL).

- TCF3/HLF fusion gene by t(17;19)(q22;13.3) in B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia

- TCF3/TFPT fusion gene 19p rearrangements in some cases of pediatric pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) (11700047, 10086727, 10644725)

- t(13;19)(q14;p13) involving TCF3
- t(12;19)(p13;p13) involving TCF3

- Additional rare, and sometimes cytogenetically cryptic, translocations involving the TCF3 gene have also been described.
