A new player SETs in myeloid malignancy

Nat Genet. 2013 Aug;45(8):846-7. doi: 10.1038/ng.2709.

Abstract

Recent studies have identified recurrent mutations in SETBP1, the gene that encodes SET-binding protein 1, in several types of myeloid malignancies, including chronic myeloid and acute myeloid leukemias. The identified mutations frequently target the SKI-homologous domain, although the exact pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown.
