Abstract excerpt
Previous epigenetics research in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) mainly focused on the DNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes. Recent studies reported that around 6% of MDS patients have several EZH2 mutations including missense, frameshift and truncated mutations. Histone methyltransferase EZH2 plays a critical role in epigenetic regulation as a bridge between histone methylation/deacetylation and DNA...
