Abstract excerpt
The DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A) gene is actively involved in epigenetic regulation. Mutations in this gene affect disease progression and response to therapy, particularly in hematological disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that DNMT3A gene mutations affecting codon R882 are actively involved in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and cause abnormal alteration of DNA methylation and...
