}}http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-inherited-dna-overactive-leukemia-gene.html  rs62527607(T) – which creates a RUNX1 binding site in the BAALC promoter region. This gene is often overactive, or overexpressed, in people with [[acute myeloid leukemia]] or acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and it indicates that the disease is likely to respond poorly to standard therapy.{{PMID Auto
