Somatic mutations in DNMT3A are one of the most prevalent genetic abnormalities found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. A new study by Guryanova et al. sheds mechanistic insight into how the most common DNMT3A variant protein contributes to AML using a combination of mouse genetics and primary patient samples.
DNMT3A 中的体细胞突变是急性髓细胞白血病 (AML) 患者中最常见的遗传异常之一。Guryanova 等人的一项新研究结合使用小鼠遗传学和原发性患者样本,深入了解最常见的 DNMT3A 变异蛋白如何导致 AML。
