Deskripsi

In multiple myeloma, a 4;14 translocation induces overexpression of histone methyltransferase NSD2, resulting in expansion of H3K36me2 and shrinkage of H3K27me3 domains. Here the authors find that CTCF, H3K27ac and gene expression changes cluster within a subset of insulated domains implicating 3D chromosome organization as a key factor in the NSD2-mediated phenotype.
