LMO2 gene is located near the breakpoint of the chromosomal translocation t(11;14) (p13;q11) in human T-ALL (Boehm et al., 1991; Royer-Pokora et al., 1991), and LMO2 has been thought to function as a bridging factor in large transcriptional complexes with several DNA-binding and adaptor proteins (TAL1/SCL, E2A, GATA1, and Ldb1) (Wadman et al., 1997; Grütz et al., 1998; El Omari et al., 2013; Layer et al., 2016). The gene discussed is LMO2; the disease is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
