Atrx inactivation drives disease-defining phenotypes in glioma cells of origin through global epigenomic remodeling

ATRX inactivation frequently occurs in glioma. Here, the authors explore the role of ATRX inactivation in oncogenesis, highlighting ATRX deficiency driven epigenomic changes that influence the expression of genes crucial to the oncogenic phenotype.
