MLL-AF6, AF6

Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog; Drosophila); translocated to, 4 (MLLT4; also known as AF6) is a gene that encodes a nectin- and actin-filament binding protein that functions as a component of an adhesion system and connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

MLLT4 is altered in 0.39% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, breast neoplasm, mixed lobular and ductal breast carcinoma, breast invasive lobular carcinoma, and colon adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in MLLT4 are MLLT4 Amplification (5.08%), MLLT4 R1596H (0.21%), MLLT4 Loss (0.08%), MLLT4 Q1615dup (0.08%), and MLLT4 R1690W (0.41%) [3].
