Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array data for myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms


ABSTRACT: Abnormalities of chromosome 7q are common in myeloid malignancies but no specific target genes have been identified. Here we describe the finding of homozygous EZH2 mutations in 9 of 12 cases with 7q acquired uniparental disomy. Screening of a total of 614 cases with myeloid disorders revealed 49 monoallelic or biallelic EZH2 mutations in 42 individuals, most commonly myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (27/219; 12%) and myelofibrosis (4/30; 13%). EZH2 encodes the catalytic subunit of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), the highly conserved histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase that influences stem cell renewal by epigenetic repression of genes involved in cell fate decisions. EZH2 has oncogenic activity and its overexpression has been causally linked to differentiation blocks in epithelial tumors. Unexpectedly, the mutations we identified resulted in premature chain termination or direct abrogation of histone methyltransferase activity, suggesting that EZH2 acts as a tumor suppressor for myeloid malignancies.
