Abstract

Cohesin complex components are frequently mutated in human myeloid cancers. Three new studies now show that cohesin mutations disrupt the differentiation of normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and enhance self-renewal, shedding light on how these alterations may contribute to leukemic transformation.
