Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous somatic mutations in spliceosome genes (U2AF1, SF3B1, ZRSR2, or SRSF2) occur in >50% of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). These mutations occur early in disease development, suggesting that they contribute to MDS pathogenesis and may represent a unique genetic vulnerability for targeted therapy. Here, we show that RNA splicing perturbation by expression of the U2AF1(S34F) mutant causes...
