NCIt definition : Human MECOM wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3q26.2 and is approximately
580 kb in length. This allele, which encodes histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MECOM
protein, is involved in DNA binding, transcription factor activity and histone methylation.
Mutation of the gene is associated with radioulnar synostosis with amegakaryocytic
thrombocytopenia-2. Chromosomal translocations involving this gene are associated
with leukemogenesis.;
