What is another word for Gene Fusion?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈiːn fjˈuːʒən] (IPA) 
Gene fusion refers to a genetic event that occurs when two or more previously separate genes combine to form a new hybrid gene. This phenomenon can lead to the generation of novel proteins with unique biological functions. There are several synonyms for gene fusion, including fusion gene, chimeric gene, hybrid gene, and gene chimera. Gene fusions have been extensively studied in cancer research as they give rise to aberrant proteins that can contribute to the development of tumors. Thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms of gene fusion and identifying potential therapeutic targets is crucial for the development of targeted cancer therapies.
