3 genes linked to Acute monocytic leukemia

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Acute monocytic leukemia is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.

GeneHow often it is seenConditions
RUNX1RUNX family transcription factor 1AlwaysIn 1 condition
SPRED1sprouty related EVH1 domain containing 1Rarely (1–4%)In 1 condition
ELANEelastase, neutrophil expressedNot recordedIn 1 condition

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
