TCEA1/PLAG1 Fusion Gene

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal insertion ins(8)(q12;q11q11) which fuses exon 1 of the TCEA1 gene upstream of the coding sequence of the PLAG1 gene. This rearrangement is associated with both aberrant expression of the zinc finger protein PLAG1 and pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland.
