  Summary Information

MLL; Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax (Drosophila) homolog)

Location: 11q23

Aliases: ALL1, HRX

Overview: The MLL gene is involved in a large number of different chromosomal translocations resulting in a range of MLL fusion proteins. These different types of translocations tend to be associate with a specific type of leukaemia. For example, the t(9;11) translocation of the MLL and MLLT4 (AF9) genes is mainly found in acute myeloid leukaemia cells.
