AF4/FMR2 family member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFF1 gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] At its same location was a record for a separate PBM1 gene, which has since been withdrawn and considered an alias. It was previously known as AF4 (ALL1-fused gene from chromosome 4).^[8]

The gene is a member of the AF4/FMR2 (AFF) family, a group of nuclear transcriptional activators which encourage RNA elongation. It is a component of the super elongation complex.^[9] It is recognized as a proto-oncogene: chromosomal translocations associated with leukemia can fuse this gene with others like KMT2A, producing an uncontrolled activator protein.^[5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Philadelphia chromosome</span> Genetic abnormality in leukemia cancer cells

The Philadelphia chromosome or Philadelphia translocation (Ph) is a specific genetic abnormality in chromosome 22 of leukemia cancer cells. This chromosome is defective and unusually short because of reciprocal translocation, t(9;22)(q34;q11), of genetic material between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22, and contains a fusion gene called BCR-ABL1. This gene is the ABL1 gene of chromosome 9 juxtaposed onto the breakpoint cluster region BCR gene of chromosome 22, coding for a hybrid protein: a tyrosine kinase signaling protein that is "always on", causing the cell to divide uncontrollably by interrupting the stability of the genome and impairing various signaling pathways governing the cell cycle.

AF4/FMR2 (AFF) is a family of nuclear transcriptional activators that encourage RNA elongation. There are four genes in this family, all of which reside in the nucleus of the cells. The gene family includes AFF1/AF4, AFF2/FMR2, AFF3/LAF4 and AFF4/AF5q31. Within the family, the AFF2/FMR2 is silenced in FRAXE intellectual disability; while the other three gene families will form fusion genes as a consequence of chromosome translocations with the myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia gene in acute lymphoblastic leukemias. While different members of the AF4/FMR2 family are known for playing various roles in cells, they all commonly participate in the regulation of splicing and transcription.
