To elucidate the functional consequences of ETV6 alterations, we performed luciferase reporter assays using an ETV6-responsive reporter construct (pGL2-754TR) derived from the stromelysin-1 gene. In line with the role of
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC3244026 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 9
Evidence Type(s): Functional, Diagnostic
Justification: Functional: The passage discusses how the ETV6 mutants (V345fs, N356fs, Y103fs, S105fs) are functionally inactive and lack transcriptional repression activity, indicating that these variants alter molecular function. Diagnostic: The passage mentions that ETV6-mutated cases have a characteristic gene expression signature and that all ETV6 mutant T-ALL samples were CD33 positive, suggesting that these variants are associated with a specific disease subtype.
