TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral       gain of function
coactivated by HOXA9 in myeloid leukemias, in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia
tumoral       gain of function
in neuroblastoma cell lines and with HOXB3 in acute myeloid leukemia
tumoral   amplification    
or overexpressed in neuroblastoma, erythroleukemia or medulloblastoma
tumoral     --over  
represses myeloid-specific gene transcription, thereby contributing to differentiation block in leukemogenesis
tumoral     --over  
extensively expressed in ovarian carcinomas and may play a role in ovarian carcinogenesis
constitutional       loss of function
results in cardiac anomalies that resemble those caused by PBX mutations
tumoral     --over  
of HOXA9 and HOXA10 and their essential cofactor MEIS1 in cells with the t(4;11) chromosome translocation and MLL-AF4 in acute leukemia
Susceptibility to restless legs (RLS)
Variant & Polymorphism other Decreased expression possibly through intronic cis-regulatory element(s), predisposes to RLS
Candidate gene combinatorial expression of Meis family proteins might be a candidate mechanism for the differential regulation of eye growth among vertebrate species
