Disease
DEK_HUMAN Note=A chromosomal aberration involving DEK is found in a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); also known as acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Translocation t(6;9)(p23;q34) with NUP214/CAN. It results in the formation of a DEK-CAN fusion gene.
Function
DEK_HUMAN Involved in chromatin organization.[1]
