Histone H3 K27M Mutant Neoepitope (H3K27M)

Target
H3K27M
Molecular classification
Neoantigen, Histone modification, Tumor-specific antigen
01

Overview

The Histone H3 K27M mutant neoepitope refers to a specific mutation in the histone H3 protein, where lysine (K) at position 27 is substituted by methionine (M). This mutation acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of PRC2, resulting in global loss of H3K27me3 and altered gene expression. It is a defining feature of diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), including DIPG, and represents a promising target for immunotherapy due to its tumor-specific nature.
