An oncogene designated PAX8-PPAR&ggr;1 contains a PAX8 coding region fused to PPAR&ggr; coding region. Molecular characterization of PAX8-PPAR&ggr;1 molecules provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences useful for detection and treatment of certain tumors, particularly thyroid follicular carcinomas.
