DVL2-TFE3 Fusion FISH Probe

The DVL2-TFE3 Fusion FISH Probe is used to confirm a fusion of the DVL2 and TFE3 genes. The fusion of the DVL2 and TFE3 genes has been associated with Kidney Renal Papillary Cell Carcinoma. These probes are FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood in both interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads before shipment. Typical turnaround time for this product is 7-14 days after purchase.

DVL2 Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of the dishevelled (dsh) protein family. The vertebrate dsh proteins have approximately 40% amino acid sequence similarity with Drosophila dsh. This gene encodes a 90-kD protein that undergoes posttranslational phosphorylation to form a 95-kD cytoplasmic protein, which may play a role in the signal transduction pathway mediated by multiple Wnt proteins. The mechanisms of dishevelled function in Wnt signaling are likely to be conserved among metazoans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Gene Name: Dishevelled Segment Polarity Protein 2

Chromosome: CHR17: 7128660 -7137863

Locus: 17p13.1

TFE3 Gene Summary

This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing transcription factor that binds MUE3-type E-box sequences in the promoter of genes. The encoded protein promotes the expression of genes downstream of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling. This gene may be involved in chromosomal translocations in renal cell carcinomas and other cancers, resulting in the production of fusion proteins. Translocation partners include PRCC (papillary renal cell carcinoma), NONO (non-POU domain containing, octamer-binding), and ASPSCR1 (alveolar soft part sarcoma chromosome region, candidate 1), among other genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

Gene Name: Transcription Factor Binding To IGHM Enhancer 3

Chromosome: CHRX: 48886241 -48900990

Locus: Xp11.23

Detection of 6 TFEB-amplified renal cell carcinomas and 25 renal cell carcinomas with MITF translocations: systematic morphologic analysis of 85 cases evaluated by clinical TFE3 and TFEB FISH assays

Renal cell carcinomas with MITF family abnormalities display diverse morphologies. In order to better understand the association between MITF alterations and clinicopathologic characteristics, this team performed FISH analysis on 85 renal tumors using our TFE3 and TFEB break apart probes.

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the prostate: a case report and review of the literature

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor. The subject of this study was a 21 year old man who presented with ASPS of the prostate. Our ASPL and TFE3 break apart probes were used to confirm fusion of the two genes in the patient’s tumor, helping to elucidate the underlying genetic drivers of this extremely rare, aggressive neoplasm.

Gastric Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor (PEComa): A Morphologic, Immunohistochemical, and Molecular Study Cell Tumor (PEComa)

Gastric Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is an extremely rare tumor type - at the time of the study, only 7 cases had been reported so far. In this study, 2 new cases of PEComa were histologically and cytogenetically analyzed. In light of a recent study on a case of PEComa that harbored TFE3 fusion (and also exhibited unique features not typical of conventional PEComa), the tumors were screened for TFE3 rearrangements using Empire Genomics' TFE3 break-apart probe. Neither of the tumors were found to display TFE3 translocations.

Clinicopathological Characterization of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Young Adults: a contemporary update and review of literature

Compared to adult renal cell carcinoma (RCC), pediatric and young adult RCC is fairly rare and poorly characterized. This team wanted to explore the genetic, molecular, and clinical spectrum of childhood and young adult RCC. They analyzed 68 RCC patients, all age 30 years or younger, using IHC and FISH. Our TFE3 and TFEB break apart FISH probes were used to detect rearrangements of the genes in cases that were morphologically suspicious for TFE3/TFEB translocations.
