Approximately 5-8% of AML cases have inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22) [1,3].  Either rearrangement leads to a CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene and may be an early event in the development of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) [2].

==Gene Overview==

==Gene Overview==

The ''MYH11'' gene encodes a smooth muscle myosin belonging to the myosin heavy chain family. The gene product is a subunit of a hexameric protein that consists of two heavy chain subunits and two pairs of non-identical light chain subunits. It functions as a major contractile protein, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy through the hydrolysis of ATP.  The pericentric inversion of chromosome 16 [inv(16)(p13q22)] produces a protein bearing the first 165 residues from the N terminus of core-binding factor beta (''CBFB'') and  the C-terminal portion of the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (''MYH11'') [2]. The CBFβ–MYH11 fusion protein exerts a dominant negative function by increased binding to the transcription factor encoded by ''RUNX1'', thereby competing for free Runx1 protein and leading to lowered and altered transcription of myeloid genes [2].

inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22); CBFB-MYH11

The CBFβ–MYH11 fusion gene encodes a protein that exerts a dominant negative function by  binding to the transcription factor encoded by ''RUNX1''.  The fusion protein encoded by CBFβ–MYH11 competes (10-fold increased binding affinity) with normal CBFbeta protein for free Runx1 protein, leading to lowered and altered transcription of myeloid genes normally controlled by the CBFbeta and Runx1 transcription factors [2].
