    Item does not contain fulltextThe t(8;21) is perhaps the most frequent chromosomal translocation associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The translocation creates a fusion protein that consists of the DNA binding domain of the RUNX1 transcription factor fused to the MTG8 transcriptional co-repressor to create a potent transcriptional repressor. Here, we discuss the possibility that the t(8;21) fusion protein represses tumor suppressors that regulate the RAS signaling pathway and the p53 oncogenic checkpoint
