| CALM (11q14-21) - Courtesy Mariano Rocchi, Resources for Molecular Cytogenetics. Laboratories willing to validate the probes are welcome : contact rocchi@biologia.uniba.it | |
| DNA/RNA |
| Transcription | major mRNA: 4 kb; other: 3 and 9 kb |
| Protein |
| Description | 652 amino acids |
| Expression | wide |
| Function | role in the integration of signals from different pathways (clathrin, phosphoinositols, receptor-mediated endocytosis) |
| Homology | with ap-3, a clathrin assembly protein (mouse) |
| Implicated in |
| Entity | t(10;11)(p13;q14-21) -->CALM-AF10 and/or AF10-CALM |
| Disease | yet to be well delineated; T-cell ALL |
| Prognosis | uncertain (median survival 2 yrs?) |
| Cytogenetics | may well be confused with the t(10;11)(p12;q23), where MLL on 11q23 is involved, instead of CALM |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' CALM - 3' AF10 and 5' AF10 - 3' CALM |
| Abnormal Protein | both CALM-AF10 and the reciprocal AF10-CALM are expressed |
