Furthermore, the role of the human YEATS containing leukemia-associated proteins, ENL, AF9 and GAS41, in both the human post-replication repair pathway, and in polyglutamine expansions such as those associated with Huntington's disease is certainly worthy of further exploration, and may provide insight into the molecular basis of such disparate diseases as leukemia and Huntington's disease. This evidence concerns the gene MLLT1 and leukemia.
