The chromosome break points of the t(8;21)(q21.3;q22.12) translocation associated with acute myeloid leukemia disrupt the RUNX1 gene (also known as AML1) and the RUNX1T1 gene (also known as CBFA2T3, MTG8 and ETO) and generate a RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion protein. Molecular characterization of the translocation break points in a t(5;8)(q32;q21.3) patient with mild-to-moderate mental retardation and congenital heart disease revealed that one of the break points was within the RUNX1T1 gene. Analysis of RUNX1T1 expression in human embryonic and fetal tissues suggests a role of RUNX1T1 in brain and heart development and support the notion that disruption of the RUNX1T1 gene is associated with the patient's phenotype.
与急性髓系白血病相关的t(8;21)(q21.3;q22.12)易位的染色体断点破坏了RUNX1基因(也称为AML1)和RUNX1T1基因(也称为CBFA2T3、MTG8和ETO),并产生RUNX1-RUNX1T1融合蛋白。对一名患有轻度至中度智力发育迟缓及先天性心脏病的t(5;8)(q32;q21.3)患者的易位断点进行分子特征分析发现,其中一个断点位于RUNX1T1基因内。对人类胚胎和胎儿组织中RUNX1T1表达的分析表明,RUNX1T1在脑和心脏发育中发挥作用,并支持RUNX1T1基因的破坏与患者表型相关这一观点。
