Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia)
Location
11q23.3
Protein description
contains two DNA binding motifs (a AT hook, and Zinc fingers), a DNA methyl transferase motif, a bromodomain; transcriptional regulatory factor; nuclear localisation
Gene name
SEPT9 (MLL septin-like fusion)
Location
17q25.2
Protein description
protein which belongs to the septin family

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Description

5 MLL - 3 MSF; fusion at MLL exon 5; the reciprocal MSF-MLL is also transcribed, but out of frameNH2 - AT hook and DNA methyltransferase from MLL fused to most of MSF in COOH
