Abstract

TET2 catalyses DNA demethylation and is mutated in various blood cancers; in particularTet2null mice develop haematological neoplasms. Here the authors show that this effect could be due to the increased frequency of mutation associated with TET2 loss in haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
