From chromatin to cancer: a new histone lysine methyltransferase enters the mix (original) (raw)

Nature Cell Biology volume 6, pages 685–687 (2004)Cite this article

Disruption of post-translational modifications of histone proteins perturbs the proper pattern of gene expression and has the potential to result in diseases, such as cancer. A study implicating a new histone lysine methyltransferase in tumorigenesis further corroborates the emerging link between cancer and epigenetics.
