Histone methyltransferases in tumor suppression.

Abstract excerpt

It is well established that human cancer can be caused by mutations in the molecular pathways that control cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Familial cancer syndromes are associated with mutations in tumor susceptibility genes. However, sporadic common cancers are primarily linked to environmental factors that often lack any obvious mutagens. This raises the question whether mutation is necessary...
