Myeloid lineage enhancers drive oncogene synergy in CEBPA/CSF3R mutant acute myeloid leukemia

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) develops following multiple mutations of differing impact. Here, the authors show that activating mutations of CSF3R co-operate with loss-of-function mutations of CEBPA to promote AML development through an enhancer-dependent mechanism.
