Phenotype stem cell origin
One case was a M4 acute myeloid leukaemia.
Epidemiology
The patient was a 14 year old girl
Prognosis
Survival was 18 months in the only documented case.
Genes Involved and Proteins
Gene name
SMAP1 (stromal membrane-associated protein 1)
Location
6q13
Protein description
SMAP1 is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Arf6.
Vesicle formation requires clathrin, its adaptors, and an enzymatic activity. This is given by small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factors (Arf; there is six Arfs, Arf1, Arf3, Arf2/Arf4, Arf5 and Arf6). Arf switches between a GTP-bound active state (regulated by guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)) and a GDP-bound inactive state (regulated by GTPase-activating protein (GAP)).
Arf6/SMAP1 regulates the clathrin dependent endocytosis of vesicles from the plasma membrane and the recycling of endosome to the plasma membrane.

Gene name
KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia)
Location
11q23.3
Protein description
transcriptional regulatory factor; MLL may have yin-yang functions though actions of MLL-N and MLL-C (e.g. desacetylation/acetylation); MLL-N acts as a transcriptional repressor; MLL can be associated with more than 30 proteins, including the core components of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and the transcription complex TFIID. MLL binds promotors of HOX genes through acetylation and methylation of histones. MLL is a major regulator of hematopoesis and embryonic development, through regulation of HOX genes expression regulation ( HOXA9 in particular).
