MIR143/NOTCH1 Fusion Gene

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(5;9)(q32;q34) that fuses exon 1 of the MIR143 gene to exon 27 of the NOTCH1 gene. This rearrangement may result in overexpression of the NOTCH intracellular domain (NICD) of neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 and is associated with benign and malignant glomus tumors.
