H3. 3 G34W promotes growth and impedes differentiation of osteoblast-like mesenchymal progenitors in giant cell tumor of bone
Abstract Glycine 34-to-tryptophan (G34W) substitutions in H3. 3 arise in approximately 90%
of giant cell tumor of bone (GCT). Here, we show H3. 3 G34W is necessary for tumor …
