Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The multi-subunit SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex is a key epigenetic regulator for many cellular processes, and several subunits are found to be mutated in human cancers. The inactivating mutations of SMARCA4, the ATPase subunit of the complex, result in cellular dependency on the paralog SMARCA2 for survival. This observed synthetic lethal relationship posits targeting SMARCA2 in...
