Abstract excerpt
Hotspot histone H3 mutations have emerged as drivers of oncogenesis in cancers of multiple lineages. Specifically, H3 lysine 36 to methionine (H3K36M) mutations are recurrently identified in chondroblastomas, undifferentiated sarcomas, and head and neck cancers. While the mutation reduces global levels of both H3K36 dimethylation (H3K36me2) and trimethylation (H3K36me3) by dominantly inhibiting their respective...
