Abstract excerpt
Trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) acts as a transcriptional repressor of target genes. Recent immunohistochemical studies have reported a loss of H3K27me3 modification in diffuse (especially 1p/19q-codeleted) gliomas. However, we did not observe H3K27me3 loss in diffuse gliomas using routine immunostaining conditions for the detection of H3K27me3 loss in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors...
