NCIt definition : Human KNL1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q15.1 and is approximately
70 kb in length. This allele, which encodes kinetochore scaffold 1 protein, plays
a role in both signaling in mitosis and chromosome alignment. The gene is involved
in a translocation t(11;15)(q23;q14) with the KMT2A (MLL) gene that is associated
with acute myeloblastic leukemia. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal
recessive primary microcephaly 4.;
