We performed a search in ChIPbase (http://deepbase.sysu.edu.cn/chipbase) and found that several important T-ALL transcriptional factors such as c-myc and CDX2 bind to the promoter of HMGA2, suggesting that they could upregulate HMGA2 expression in some human T-ALL cases.20, 21. Here, HMGA2 is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
