Description: Gene fusion in the 9;22 translocation. Part of the BCR gene on chromosome 22 is moved to chromosome 9 and fuses with part of the C-ABL gene on that chromosome to form a hybrid gene. Expression of the hybrid gene produces a hybrid BCR-ABL protein that continuously signals for cell division in white blood cells. Overproduction of these cells results in CML.
