NCIt definition : Human CREBBP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13.3 and is approximately
154 kb in length. This allele, which encodes CREB-binding protein, plays a role in
the mediation of both histone acetylation and cyclic AMP responses. Mutations in a
single copy of this gene are associated with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Translocations
involving this gene may be a factor in some acute myeloid leukemias.;
NCIt note : The CREBBP gene is involved in several translocations that may be a cause of acute
myeloid leukemias, including translocation t(8;16)(p11;p13) with the MYST3 gene, translocation
t(11;16)(q23;p13.3) with the MLL gene, and translocation t(10;16)(q22;p13) with the
MYST4 gene (SwissProt).;
