EWSR1/ATF1 Fusion Gene Type 2

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** A fusion gene (~3.0 kb) that results from a chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(q13;q12) which fuses the first 7 exons of the EWSR1 gene on the 5' side of exon 5 of the ATF1 gene. This rearrangement is associated with both malignant clear cell sarcoma of the soft tissue and angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma.
