In fact, some HATs are recurrent components of fusion oncoproteins generated by chromosomal rearrangement in leukemia, for example t(8;16)(p11,p13) associated with AML generate the fusion protein MOZ-CBP which is composed for two HAT enzymes: MOZ (MOnocytic leukemia Zinc-finger protein) and CBP (CREB-Binding Protein). This evidence concerns the gene KAT6A and acute myeloid leukemia.
