Fusion transcript

Fusion transcript is a chimeric RNA encoded by a fusion gene[1] or by two different genes by subsequent trans-splicing.[2][3] Certain fusion transcripts are commonly produced by cancer cells, and detection of fusion transcripts is part of routine diagnostics of certain cancer types.
