Mining the epigenetic landscape in ALL

Lindsay M Lafave et al. Nat Genet. 2013 Nov.

Abstract

The significance of epigenomic aberrations in cancer development has been underscored by the discovery of mutations in key chromatin modifiers, most notably in hematological malignancies. A new study of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) demonstrates the usefulness of mapping global epigenetic signatures and applying these data in a framework to identify and characterize underlying somatic genetic alterations in human cancers.
