Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1; also known as AML1) is a gene that codes for runt-related transcription factor 1, the alpha subunit of the core binding factor protein. This protein is thought to take part in regulating expression of multiple genes involved in normal hematopoiesis (Gene 2013PMID: 14556655). RUNX1 is involved in translocations observed in hematologic malignancies, including AML, ALL, and myelodysplastic syndromes. Its role in cancer is also being investigated in promyelocytic leukemia, as well as in solid tumors such as endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancer. In addition, germline RUNX1 mutations, deletions, and translocations have been associated with conditions that predispose individuals to myeloid malignancies (PMID: 24136165PMID: 11830488; NCCN 2014PMID: 10508512).

RUNX1 is altered in 2.50% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in RUNX1 are RUNX1 Mutation (1.50%), RUNX1 c.170-c.1439 Missense (1.12%), RUNX1 c.298-c.629 Missense (0.51%), RUNX1 Exon 8 Mutation (0.36%), and RUNX1 Exon 4 Mutation (0.31%) [3].
