PMID: 11050005 by Mochizuki N., et al. A novel gene, MEL1, mapped to 1p36.3 is highly homologous to the MDS1/EVI1 gene and is transcriptionally activated in t(1;3)(p36;q21)- positive leukemia cells.
PMID: 12816872 by Nishikata I., et al. A novel EVI1 gene family, MEL1, lacking a PR domain (MEL1S) is expressed mainly in t(1;3)(p36;q21)-positive AML and blocks G-CSF- induced myeloid differentiation.
