Moreover, a recent study also reported that the high expression of miR-196b is not only restricted to MLL-rearranged leukemia but can also be found in other types of leukemia with aberrant activation of HOXA genes suggesting a potential role for miR-196b in the tumourigenesis of all HOXA-activated leukemias [114]. The gene discussed is KMT2A; the disease is leukemia.
