| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | M5 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) |
| Clinics | poorly known: one case, a 39 year old man with 47,XY,+5,t(11;17)(q23;q12) |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia) |
| Location | 11q23.3 |
| Dna / Rna | 21 exons, spanning over 100 kb; 13-15 kb mRNA |
| Protein | 431 kDa; 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 | RARA (Retinoic acid receptor, alpha) |
| Location | 17q21.2 |
| Protein | wide expression; nuclear receptor; binds specific DNA sequences: HRE (hormone response elements); ligand and dimerization domain; role in growth and differentiation |
| To be noted |
| Additional cases are needed to delineate the epidemiology of this rare entity: you are welcome to submit a paper to our new Case Report section. |
