tumoral fusion      
with ETV6 in t(9;12) (q11;p13) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
tumoral fusion      
fused with the elastin (ELN) by t(7;9)(q11;p13) translocation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)
tumoral   translocation    
recurrent t(9;15)(p13;q24) in two cases of childhood ALL, with fusion of PAX5 to PML (putative PAX5-PML fusion gene encodes a chimaeric protein that retains the paired domain)
tumoral fusion      
with ASXL, in t(9;20)(p11-13;q11) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
tumoral fusion      
with FOXP1 in t(3;9)(p13;p13) recurrent in both childhood and in adult B-ALL
tumoral fusion      
PAX5-AUTS2 is a recurrent fusion gene (t(7;9)(q11.2;p13.2)) in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Susceptibility to B cell leukemia
Variant & Polymorphism other
  • p.Gly183Ser retains sufficient transcriptional regulatory activity for grossly normal B cell development in the presence of one wild-type copy of PAX5, but it does not have sufficient activity to prevent leukemogenesis after loss of the wild-type PAX5 allele
  • Candidate gene
    Marker most sensitive and reliable immunohistochemical marker for B-cell malignancies
