The authors apply reverse engineering of transcriptional networks to identify the main functional drivers of the pro-leukemic transcriptional activity of TLX1 and TLX3, transcription factors usually altered in T-ALL. The network analysis uncovers RUNX1 as a key mediator of the effects of TLX factors and, consistently, mutations in RUNX1 are found in human T-ALL.
