Everything about Fusion Gene totally explained
A
fusion gene is a hybrid gene formed from two previously separate genes. It can occur as the result of a
translocation,
interstitial deletion, or
chromosomal inversion. The fusion of two genes is often taken as evidence that these genes have related functions
(External Link
). Often, fusion genes are
oncogenes; examples include
BCR-ABL,
FIG-ROS, TEL-AML1 (
ALL with t(12 ; 21)), AML1-ETO (
M2 AML with t(8 ; 21)) and
TEL-JAK2.
Biologists may also deliberately create fusion genes for research purposes. For example, by creating a fusion gene of a protein of interest and
green fluorescent protein, the protein of interest may be observed in
cells or
tissue using fluorescence
microscopy. The protein synthesized when a fusion gene is
expressed is called a
fusion protein.
