MLL1 or HRX

edit

Agree that these two pages should be merged. As to what the most appropriate location for gene pages, I generally believe it should be the gene symbol from Entrez Gene (or Ensembl). In this case, it is 'MLL', but MLL was already taken as a redirect page (which I then changed to a disambig page). Then, because the official gene name "Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia (trithorax homolog, Drosophila)" seemed like a mouthful, I think I pretty much randomly selected one of the remaining gene aliases. I don't see MLL1 as an official alias -- where did you get that from? Then again, searches in Pubmed seem to suggest that either is reasonable. Can you just do the merge to which ever page you feel is appropriate (or flip a coin if you're also ambivalent)? If an expert on this gene comes along and wants to move it to a better location later, I'd support that as well... -- AndrewGNF (talk) 17:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I got the MLL1 name from the comment that inspired me to create the article on it. (0: O.K., i'll think and move the contents to one of the pages (gone lookin' for a coin).

Since there are no objections, I merged the contents of HRX to HLL (gene), the official HUGO name for these gene. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 19:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
