Expression of ENL YEATS domain tumor mutations in nephrogenic or stromal lineage impairs kidney development.

Abstract excerpt

Recurrent gain-of-function mutations in the histone reader protein ENL have been identified in Wilms tumor, the most prevalent pediatric kidney cancer. However, their pathological significance in kidney development and tumorigenesis in vivo remains elusive. Here, we generate mouse models mimicking ENL tumor (ENLT) mutations and show that heterozygous mutant expression in Six2+ nephrogenic or Foxd1+ stromal...
