What's a GeneRIF?

MLLT6 maintains PD-L1 expression and mediates tumor immune resistance.
Title: MLLT6 maintains PD-L1 expression and mediates tumor immune resistance.
AF17 competes with AF9 to bind Dot1a, decreases Dot1a nuclear expression by possibly facilitating its nuclear export, and relieves Dot1a.AF9-mediated repression of alpha-ENaC and other target genes.
Title: AF17 competes with AF9 for binding to Dot1a to up-regulate transcription of epithelial Na+ channel alpha.
In the Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients, detected MLL rearrangements consisting of MLL/AF6, MLL/AF9, MLL/AF17 , MLL/ELL and MLL partial tandem duplication. MLL rearrangement include chromosome translocation and partial tandem duplication.
Title: [Application of reverse transcription-multiplex nested PCR to detect MLL rearrangement in AML-M4/M5].

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
