Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia)
Location
11q23.3
Dna rna description
21 exons, spanning about 100kb; 13-17 kb mRNA.
Protein description
431 kDa; contains two DNA binding motifs (an AT hook and Zinc fingers), a DNA methyl transferase motif, a bromodomain; transcriptional regulatory factor; nuclear localisation.
Gene name
ABI2 (abl interactor 2)
Location
2q33.2
Dna rna description
16 exons, spanning about 104kb, about 22kb mRNA.
Protein description
513 amino acids containing protein, different isoforms described, contains an Abl-interactor homeodomain homologous region (HHR), SRC homology 3 (SH3) domains and proline rich stretches. Functions as inhibitor of c-Abl.

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Atlas Image
MLL-ABI2 fusion product. DNA sequence is shown as derived from a long distance inverse PCR experiment. Shown in black is the sequence from MLL intron 8, exon 9 (bold) and intron 9, respectively, in blue two inserted nucleotides, in red the sequence from ABI2 intron 4. The schematic overview of transcripts shows the different splice variants that were present. cDNA sequence is shown as derived from Reverse Transcription-PCR using an exon 8 specific MLL and an exon 6 specific ABI2 primer. The gel picture shows multiple bands that were derived with these primers and were confirmed by cloning.

Transcript

3 different transcripts were detected, see above.

Detection protocole

RT-PCR according to reference.
