Histone methylation activity of KMT2D is required for proliferative control of the developing lung

Aalekh S. Mehta, Guojia Xie, Frances A. High…·Samuel P. Rowbotham

This study shows that KMT2D's histone methylation activity is essential for proper lung development, with its loss causing hypoplasia and other developmental defects.
