About Acute leukemia with lysine methyltransferase 2A gene (KMT2A) translocation.

Acute leukemia with lysine methyltransferase 2A gene (*KMT2A*) translocation is an aggressive hematologic malignancy affecting the blood and bone marrow in pediatric, adult, and particularly infant populations.

The disease spans acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and mixed-phenotype acute leukemia, defined cytogenetically by balanced chromosomal rearrangements at chromosome band 11q23.

Pathophysiologically, these translocations create chimeric fusion oncoproteins that recruit epigenetic regulators to aberrantly upregulate critical oncogenic transcription programs, notably *HOXA* cluster genes and *MEIS1*.

This molecular mechanism results in blocked hematopoietic differentiation, uncontrolled blast proliferation, marked chemoresistance, and an unfavorable clinical prognosis.
