**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** A fusion gene that results from a microdeletion on chromosome 1 in the vicinity of p32 which fuses the promoter region and exon 1 of the STIL gene to exon 3 of the TAL1 gene. This deletion is associated with aberrant expression of the T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
