Whereas, fusions involving KMT2A, CBFA2T3, or MNX1 are molecular hallmarks of AML affecting infants and early childhood (<3 years), those affecting the core binding factor (RUNX1 and CBFB) or the retinoid acid receptor (RARA) occur at any age but peak in children (3–14 years) or even in young adults (15–39 years). This evidence concerns the gene RARA and acute myeloid leukemia.
