NCIt definition : Human TLX1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10q24 and is approximately
7 kb in length. This allele, which encodes T-cell leukemia homeobox protein 1, plays
roles in the regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription and in the development
of the spleen. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is linked to both t(10,14)(q24;q11)
and t(7,10)(q35;q24) translocations, resulting in fusion of this gene to either the
T-cell receptor delta or beta locus.;
NCIt note : The TLX1 gene product binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GGCGGTAAGTGG-3' (GeneCards).;
