MLLT3, one of the genes shown to be a translocation breakpoint partner for the acute lymphocytic leukemia (MLL) gene, has been mapped to 9p22. We have identified a polymorphic trinucleotide repeat within this gene that shows somatic instability. The inheritance pattern of this polymorphism in recombinant individuals from families previously typed for other chromosome 9 markers indicates that the gene lies in the interval bounded by D9S156 and D9S171.
