Abstract excerpt
Histone modification is a crucial step in transcriptional regulation, and deregulation of the modification process is important in human carcinogenesis. We previously reported that upregulation of SMYD3, a histone methyltransferase, promoted cell growth in human colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas. Here we report significant associations between homozygosity with respect to an allele with three tandem...
