  • A new study now reports recurrent somatic mutation of EZH2, a histone methyltransferase that modifies H3K27, in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There is now evidence for both increased and decreased activity of enzymes controlling H3K27 methylation in cancer, suggesting that a precise balance of this methylation is critical for normal cell growth.

  • New studies reveal that 20% of individuals with acute myeloid leukemia harbor somatic mutations in DNMT3A (encoding DNA methyltransferase 3A). Although these leukemias have some gene expression and DNA methylation changes, a direct link between mutant DNMT3A, epigenetic changes and pathogenesis remains to be established.
