How chromosomal translocations arise to cause cancer: Gene proximity, trans-splicing, and DNA end joining

Summary: Chromosomal translocations (CTs) are a genetic hallmark of cancer. They could be identified as recurrent genetic aberrations in hemato-malignancies and solid tumors. More than 40% of all “cancer genes” were identified in recurrent CTs. Most of these CTs result in the production of oncofusio...
