Abstract
Chromosomal aberrations that affect the MLL (Mixed Lineage Leukemia) gene at the locus 11q23 are associated with an aggressive subtype of leukemia. These alterations create MLL fusion derivatives with an active transforming potential. This review summarizes recent advances in our knowledge about normal and malignant MLL proteins with special emphasis on epigenetic processes affected by these molecules.
