Altered chromatin landscape and enhancer engagement underlie transcriptional dysregulation in MED12 mutant uterine leiomyomas

Somatic mutations in MED12 have been implicated as the causal genetic lesion in the majority of uterine leiomyomas. Here, the authors profile the chromatin landscape of matched normal and leiomyoma tissues and find that changes in enhancer acetylation, enhancer-promoter interaction strength, differe...

Sumario:Somatic mutations in MED12 have been implicated as the causal genetic lesion in the majority of uterine leiomyomas. Here, the authors profile the chromatin landscape of matched normal and leiomyoma tissues and find that changes in enhancer acetylation, enhancer-promoter interaction strength, differential enhancer usage and transcription factor AP-1 occupancy are significant drivers of transcriptional dysregulation in MED12 mutant leiomyomas.
