t(4;11) leukemias display addiction to MLL-AF4 but not to AF4-MLL [PDF]
The most frequent MLL-gene rearrangement found in leukemia is a reciprocal translocation with AF4 on chromosome 4 resulting in the formation of the MLL-AF4 and the AF4-MLL fusion genes. The oncogenic role of MLL-AF4 is documented but the significance of the reciprocal product - AF4-MLL in leukemia is less clear.

Concurrent MLL-AF4+ infant ALL in monozygotic twins: a case report [PDF]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in childhood, but it is relatively rare in infants. However, infant ALL exhibits distinct biological characteristics and an aggressive course, with a high proportion of cases involving MLL ...

Interaction of AF4 wild-type and AF4·MLL fusion protein with SIAH proteins: indication for t(4;11) pathobiology? [PDF]
The human AF4 (ALL-1 fused gene on chromosome 4) gene (4q11) is recurrently involved in reciprocal translocations to the MLL (mixed lineage leukemia) gene (11q23), correlated with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in infants and early childhood. The t(4;11) translocation is one of the most frequent MLL translocations known today. In general,
