EZH2 mutations increase the heterogeneity of chromatin states in lymphoma

PLoS Biol. 2025 Jun 13;23(6):e3003211. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3003211. eCollection 2025 Jun.

Abstract

A recent study in PLoS Biology used simultaneous measurements of histone modifications in single cells to reveal that EZH2 gain-of-function mutations profoundly reprogram chromatin states in B-cell lymphoma, while also increasing their cell-cell heterogeneity.
