Disease

BC11A_HUMAN Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin - beta-thalassemia. Chromosomal aberrations involving BCL11A may be a cause of lymphoid malignancies. Translocation t(2;14)(p13;q32.3) causes BCL11A deregulation and amplification.^[1] The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.^[2]

Function

BC11A_HUMAN Transcription factor associated with the BAF SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex (By similarity). Repressor of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level (PubMed:26375765). Involved in brain development (PubMed:27453576). Functions as a myeloid and B-cell proto-oncogene. May play important roles in leukemogenesis and hematopoiesis. Essential factor in lymphopoiesis required for B-cell formation in fetal liver. May function as a modulator of the transcriptional repression activity of ARP1 (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q9QYE3]^{[3] [4]}
