Official Full Name: MLLT11 transcription factor 7 cofactor
Also known as: AF1Q
Different sign genes for ALL1, HRX or MLL located on 11q23 have been shown to fuse with many translocation partners in leukemia cases. In two children with acute myeloid leukemia, the t(1;11)(q21;q23) translocation was shown to fuse the MLL gene to a gene on chromosome band 1q21. The N-terminal portion of the MLL gene is critical for leukemogenesis in a translocation involving band 11q23. This gene encodes 90 amino acids. It is highly expressed in thymus but not in peripheral lymphoid tissue. In contrast to its limited distribution in normal hematopoietic tissues, the gene is expressed in all leukemic cell lines.
