Kroll et al (2000) reported that t(2;3)(q13;p25), a chromosomal translocation detected in a subset of follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTCs), originates a fusion gene composed by DNA-binding domain of the thyroid transcription factor PAX8 and domains A to F of PPARγ. The gene discussed is PAX8; the disease is thyroid gland follicular carcinoma.
