These salivary gland tumors are characterized by the presence of a t(12;15)(p13;q25) translocation, which leads to the fusion of the translocation-Ets-leukemia virus (ETV6) gene on chromosome 12, and the neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase 3 (NTRK3) gene on chromosome 154. This evidence concerns the gene ETV6 and tumor of salivary gland.
