| CYP2E1 | MTG1 | In-frame fusion that results in aberrant expression of CYP2E1 under the control of the MTG1 promoter.[1] Breakpoints are typically reported in exon 9 of MTG1 (NM_138384.4) to the 5' regulatory region of CYP2E1 (NG_055447.1)[1] | None | Recurrent | D | No | Although only relatively few cases have been studied, a recurrent fusion between MTG1::CYP2E1 has been described in the majority of cases.[1][2] |

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods
- Fusion testing
- Targeted sequencing (such as RT-PCR or targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels)
- For targeted NGS panels, consider if the assay requires both gene partners to be included on the panel or if it is able to identify novel fusions as long as one of the partners is included on the panel
- Whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing
- Provides an unbiased approach to fusion calling
- Targeted sequencing (such as RT-PCR or targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels)
