Overexpression of TFE3 is a sensitive and specific marker of Xp11 translocation in renal cell carcinomas. TFE3 is also expressed in alveolar soft part sarcoma the hallmark of which is a chromosomal rearrangement at 17q25 and Xp11.2 engendering an ASPSCR1–TFE3 fusion gene. Use of this antibody is an aid in the recognition of Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma and alveolar soft part sarcoma within the context of an antibody panel.
