Abstract excerpt
Alterations of epigenetic proteins that modulate the gene repressive lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me) are recurrent features in cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM). The histone demethylase UTX/KDM6A, mutated in up to 10% of cases of MM activates genes by removing the H3K27me3 repressive histone mark, counteracting EZH2. RNA-sequencing studies showed that UTX upregulated genes in association with loss of...
