Gene: KLF9

Alternate names for this Gene: BTEB|BTEB1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that binds to GC box elements located in the promoter. Binding of the encoded protein to a single GC box inhibits mRNA expression while binding to tandemly repeated GC box elements activates transcription.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q21.12

Description of this Gene: Kruppel like factor 9

Type of Gene: protein-coding

rs11142398 in KLF9 gene and Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute PMID 27903959 2017 Genome-wide haplotype association study identify the FGFR2 gene as a risk gene for acute myeloid leukemia.
