Functional diversity of inhibitors tackling the differentiation blockage of MLL-rearranged leukemia

Abstract Introduction The chromosomal rearrangements of the mixed-lineage leukemia gene MLL (KMT2A) have been extensively characterized as a potent oncogenic driver in leukemia. For its oncogenic function, most MLL-fusion proteins exploit the multienzyme super elongation complex leading to elevated...
