A<unk>  is a hybrid gene formed from two previously independent genes. It can occur as a result of translocation, interstitial deletion, or chromosomal inversion.<unk> s have been found to be prevalent in all main types of human neoplasia. The identification of these<unk> s play a prominent role in being a diagnostic and prognostic marker. A schematic showing the ways a<unk>  can occur at a chromosomal level.
