Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in DNMT3A, a DNA methyltransferase, or NSD1, a histone methyltransferase, cause overgrowth syndromes. Conversely, disruption of the DNMT3A domain that binds NSD1-deposited H3K36 dimethylation (H3K36me2) results in growth restriction. To investigate the molecular basis of these opposing growth outcomes, we generated isogenic human embryonic stem cells carrying growth syndrome-associated...
