Midline tract carcinoma is caused by a change in a chromosome. Every cell in the body contains DNA (genetic material stored inside chromosomes) that controls how the cell looks and acts. Midline tract carcinoma may form when part of the DNA from chromosome 15 (called the NUT gene) joins with the DNA from another chromosome.
