Oncokinase fusion polypeptides associated with hyperproliferative disorders and the polynucleotides encoding for such fusion polypeptides are provided. The fusion polypeptides have a C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain fused to an N-terminal domain that is not normally fused to the C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain and they possess constitutively activated tyrosine kinase activity. Also provided are methods for detecting and identifying the fusion polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods of diagnosing disease conditions associated with the fusion polypeptides and polynucleotides. In addition, screening assays for identifying agents useful for treating disease conditions associated with such fusion polypeptides and polynucleotides are provided. Furthermore, methods of treating disease conditions associated with the presence of the fusion polypeptides are provided.
