Burkitt’s lymphoma:c-myc coding exons fused to IgH promoter and strong enhancer deregulates myc expression
mouse model: Ku-/- p53-/- very aggressive pro-B-cell lymphomas
CML (CGL):fusion of BCR promoter and initial coding sequences to ABL non-receptor tyrosine kinase to constitutively activate ABL kinase function:misregulation of downstream genes eg. RAS, adhesion molecules, apoptotic factors, MYC, cyclin D1
DSRCT:fusion of EWS coding sequence to WT1 coding sequencereplaces RNA-binding domain of EWS with the DNA-binding domain of WT1 creating a novel transcription factoractivates: PDGF-A, EGR-1 and IGF-1R all of which would normally be repressed by WT1
