Abstract excerpt
The human AF9/MLLT3 gene is a common fusion partner for the MLL gene in translocations t(9;11)(p22;q23) associated with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. The exact function of the gene is still unknown, although a mouse knock-out model points to a role as a controller of embryo patterning. We report the case of a constitutional translocation t(4;9)(q35;p22) disrupting the AF9/MLLT3 gene in a...
