Targeting the Menin–KMT2A interaction in leukemia: Lessons learned and future directions
International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Chromosomal rearrangements involving the Mixed Lineage Leukemia gene (MLL1, KMT2A) are defining a genetically distinct subset in about 10% of human acute leukemias. Translocations involving the KMT2A‐locus at chromosome 11q23 are resulting in the formation of a chimeric oncogene, where the N‐terminal part of KMT2A is fused to a variety of ...

Enhancer‐dependent gene regulation in space, time, and malignancies
International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Control of cell‐type‐specific gene activation requires the coordinated activity of distal regulatory elements, including enhancers, whose inputs must be temporally integrated. Dysregulation of this regulatory capacity, such as aberrant usage of enhancers, can result in malignant transformation of cells.

Therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors
International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Alterations in chromatin conformation and post‐translational modification of histones have become increasingly recognized as critical drivers of cancer development, progression, and therapy resistance. Recent advances in drug development have led to the establishment of several highly selective small molecule inhibitors, several of which are ...

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? Cervical cancer screening programmes could benefit from an accurate triage test for human papillomavirus‐positive women based on self‐sampling. This epigenome‐wide association study examined a large number of cervical cancers and cervical intraepithelial neoplasias grade 3 (CIN3) compared to controls using the 850 k EPIC methylation array ...

Epigenetic reprogramming in multiple myeloma—Challenges and opportunities
International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract In cancer, mutational processes act in concert with epigenetic reprogramming to endow malignant cells with hallmark properties that underpin tumorigenesis. Compared with the relatively rigid and slow processes of genetic evolution, the plastic nature of chromatin enables cells to adapt to a changing environment more rapidly.
