Inherited mutations of transcription factors have recently been associated with susceptibility to acute leukemia. Here we report two unrelated kindreds with inherited mutations in ETV6, the gene encoding the transcriptio
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4477877 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 3
Evidence Type(s): Predisposing, Functional
Justification: Predisposing: The passage discusses inherited mutations in ETV6 that confer susceptibility to acute leukemia, indicating a germline origin and inherited risk for developing the disease. Functional: The passage describes how the ETV6 mutations (L349P and N385fs) alter the protein's localization and its ability to regulate gene expression, demonstrating a change in molecular function.
