Abstract excerpt
Acute leukemias characterized by a shared epigenetic dependency on the menin-KMT2A axis rely on aberrant HOX-driven transcriptional programs that sustain leukemic self-renewal and impair differentiation. This dependency is most evident in KMT2A-rearranged and NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but also extends to other HOX-dependent entities, including leukemias with NUP98 rearrangements and UBTF tandem...
