DNA structural properties of AF9 are similar to MLL and could act as recombination hot spots resulting in MLL/AF9 translocations and leukemogenesis
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
The human AF9 gene at 9p22 is one of the most common fusion partner genes with the MLL gene at 11q23, resulting in the t(9;11)(p22;q23). The MLL-AF9 fusion gene is associated with de novo acute myelo-genous leukemia (AML), rarely with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and with therapy related leukemia (t-AML). The AF9 gene is >100 kb and two patient breakpoint cluster regions (BCRs) have been identified; BCR1 is...
