The ETV6-ACSL6 fusion gene was first reported by Yagasaki et al. in 1999 in three patients, with one presenting with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) with basophilia, one presenting with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and one presenting with acute eosinophilic leukemia (AEL) [5]. Here, ETV6 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
