Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heterozygous histone H3.3K27M mutation is a primary oncogenic driver of Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). H3.3K27M inhibits the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) methyltransferase activity, leading to global reduction and redistribution of the repressive H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3). This epigenomic rewiring is thought to promote gliomagenesis, but the precise role of K27M in gene regulation...
