● HGNC (http://www.genenames.org/): 10471 or RUNX1

Gene locus:

21q22.3

Protein name:

Runt-related transcription factor 1

Protein Size:

453 amino acids; about 49 kDa

Function:

The protein encoded by RUNX1 is a transcription factor associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It belongs to the Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) family of genes which are also called core binding factor-α (CBFα). RUNX proteins form a heterodimeric complex with CBFβ which confers increased DNA binding and stability to the complex. RUNX1 is thought to be involved in the development of normal hematopoiesis.

Cancer-related alterations:

Somatic RUNX1 mutations (deletion, insertion, point mutations) have been observed in tumors of haematopoietic/lymphoid tissue and CNS.  There are no mutational hot spots.
RUNX1 is frequently mutated in sporadic myeloid and lymphoid leukemia through translocation, point mutation or amplification. It is also responsible for a familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia (FPD-AML).

Chromosomal alterations involving RUNX1 and leading to fusion genes are well-documented and have been associated with several types of leukemia.

RUNX1 genetic alterations are the cause of familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancy (FPD-AML or FPDMM), which is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by qualitative and quantitative platelet defects, and propensity to develop acute myelogenous leukemia.
