Research Abstract |
RUNX1 is a transcription factor that is essential for hematopoiesis and is the causative gene of the familial platelet disorder that developing leukemia in a high risk. SNP in the promoter region of RUNX1 gene effects on the RUNX1 transcription, and allelic imbalance causes the over-expression of mutation transcript in the same allele at SNP. New 4 lysine residues in the carboxyl terminal of mutant RUNX1 protein that differs from normal RUNX1 due to a frame shift mutation are target of ubiquitination and degradation. It was suggested that the allelic expression imbalance and a decrease of protein level cause the risk of leukemia.
