NCIt synonyms : LAF4 Gene; LAF4; AF4/FMR2 Family, Member 3 wt Allele; Lymphoid Nuclear Protein Related to AF4 Gene; LAF4 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human AFF3 wild-type allele is located within 2q11.2-q12 and is approximately 595
kb in length. This allele, which encodes AF4/FRM2 family member 3 protein, may play
roles in both the activation of RNA polymerase II-directed transcription and the development
of lymphoid tissues. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is associated with rearrangement
and fusion of this gene to the MLL gene.;
NCIt note : The AFF3 gene product is a putative transcription activator that may function in oncogenesis,
and binds to double-stranded DNA in vitro (GeneCards).;
