B lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) with t(17;19)(q22;p13), resulting in the TCF3::HLF gene fusion, is newly recognized as a distinct entity in the WHO 5th edition classification. TCF3 rearrangements are identified in approximately 5–11% of B-ALL cases, with several fusion partners reported, including PBX1, HLF, and ZNF384. B-ALL with TCF3::PBX1 fusion is also classified as a separate entity in the latest WHO edition<ref>WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board, eds, WHO Classification of Tumours, Haematolymphoid Tumours, 5th edition, IARC Press:Lyon, 2024. Online at WHO Classification of Tumours</ref>. <span style="color:#0070C0">(''Instructions: Details on clinical significance such as prognosis and other important information can be provided in the notes section.

|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> ''CIC::DUX4''
|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> Typically, the last exon of ''CIC'' is fused to ''DUX4''. The fusion breakpoint in ''CIC'' is usually intra-exonic and removes an inhibitory sequence, upregulating ''PEA3'' genes downstream of ''CIC'' including ''ETV1'', ''ETV4'', and ''ETV5''.

''DUX4'' has many homologous genes; an alternate translocation in a minority of cases is t(10;19), but this is usually indistinguishable from t(4;19) by short-read sequencing (add references).
* This ALL subtype is classified based on the presence of a t(17;19)(q22;p13), which results in fusion of the 5’ portion of ''TCF3'' at “19p13” and the 3’ portion of ''HLF'' at “17q22”.

Other fusion partners include ''KIF5B, NPM1, STRN, TFG, TPM3, CLTC, KLC1''
|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> Fusions result in constitutive activation of the ''ALK'' tyrosine kinase. The most common ''ALK'' fusion is ''EML4::ALK'', with breakpoints in intron 19 of ''ALK''. At the transcript level, a variable (5’) partner gene is fused to 3’ ''ALK'' at exon 20. Rarely, ''ALK'' fusions contain exon 19 due to breakpoints in intron 18.
