By using a mouse bone marrow model bearing the common AML-initiating mutations in DNA methyltransferase 3 α (DNMT3A) and nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), the work provides further evidence for the role of the signaling orchestrator GRB2-associated–binding protein 2 (GAB2) in AML progression, positioning GAB2 as a potential therapeutic target. This evidence concerns the gene DNMT3A and acute myeloid leukemia.
