LaboratoryTFE3 gene rearrangements in Tissue by FISH
Definition
The detection of rearrangements involving the TFE3 (transcription factor E3) gene by FISH. A positive result suggests a rearrangement of the TFE3 gene region at Xp11.23 and supports the diagnosis of alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) variant when combined with an anatomic pathology consultation.
