The gene ets variant 6 (ETV6) encodes for the transcription factor ETV6 protein. ETV6 is a DNA-binding protein involved in transcription regulation during embryonic development and hematopoiesis (Gene 2014Genetics Home Reference 2014). ETV6 variants—rearrangements, in particular—have been observed in myelodysplastic syndromes, other hematologic malignancies, and sarcomas.​

ETV6 is altered in 2.26% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and acute myeloid leukemia having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in ETV6 are ETV6 Mutation (0.95%), ETV6 Amplification (0.51%), ETV6 Fusion (0.24%), ETV6 Loss (0.22%), and ETV6-NTRK3 Fusion (0.13%) [3].
