Abstract excerpt
MECOM is a transcription factor critical for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the pathogenesis of myeloid leukemia. Germline mutations clustered in the C-terminal zinc finger domain (ZFD) of MECOM are known to cause MECOM-associated syndromes, involving bone marrow failure and skeletal anomalies. However, the molecular consequences of these mutations and the precise downstream mechanisms of...
