Abstract excerpt
The recent identification of covalent cytosine modifications derived from the metabolism of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and catalyzed by the TET proteins has facilitated molecular insight into a new subclass of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs). TET2-mutant AMLs have the predicted hypermethylation phenotype expected given the inability of the mutant TET2 protein to convert 5-mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). In...
