The t(7;11)(p15;p15) translocation is a recurrent chromosomal abnormality associated primarily with acute myeloid leukaemia (FAB M2 and M4). We present here the molecular definition of this translocation. On chromosome 7 positional cloning revealed the consistent rearrangement of the HOXA9 gene, which encodes a class I homeodomain protein potentially involved in myeloid differentiation. On chromosome 11 the translocation targets the human homologue of NUP98, a member of the GLFG nucleoporin family. Chimaeric messages spliced over the breakpoint fuse the GLFG repeat domains of NUP98 in-frame to the HOXA9 homeobox. The predicted NUP98-HOXA9 fusion protein may promote leukaemogenesis through inhibition of HOXA9-mediated terminal differentiation and/or aberrant nucleocytoplasmic transport.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
