Loss-of-function mutations in the histone methyltransferase EZH2 promote chemotherapy resistance in AML

Abstract Chemotherapy resistance is the main impediment in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Despite rapid advances, the various mechanisms inducing resistance development remain to be defined in detail. Here we report that loss-of-function mutations (LOF) in the histone methyltransfer...
