Science - Abstract
Richter’s Transformation is a treatment-resistant and fatal progression from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) to an aggressive lymphoma. Here, the authors show that PRMT5 is upregulated months prior to and after transformation, PRMT5 overexpression in a CLL mouse model leads to increased risk of transformation, and that targeted PRMT5 inhibition prolongs survival and delays disease development.
