OnCo

HOXA9 is an embryonic growth gene that some leukaemias keep switched on so their cells never mature. Menin inhibitors such as revumenib and ziftomenib do not touch HOXA9 itself; they pull menin off the DNA so the gene switches off and the cells grow up. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

HOXA9 is not directly druggable in the corpus; the menin inhibitors act on the scaffold that keeps it expressed, and MEIS1 is its cofactor in the same programme (UniProt O00470).
