Suffocating cancer: hypoxia-associated epimutations as targets for cancer therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Splicing is more efficient when coupled with transcription and it has been proposed that nucleosomes enriched in exons are important for splice site recognition. Lynch syndrome is a familial cancer syndrome that can be caused by the autosomal dominant inheritance of splice site mutations in the MutL homolog ...
