It's been almost 12 years since we started our efforts to generate Son KO mice, which had tons of obstacles. Finally, sharing our publication on the first Son+/- mouse model!😃 Hope this model can contribute to ZTTK syndrome research and SON biology! insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

A Somerville boy has one of the world’s rarest diseases. His parents are determined to find a cure....

The parents of 19-month-old Lucas Guo hope to raise $10 million to find a cure or treatment for ZTTK syndrome, a complex neurological disorder caused by a genetic mutation.

Can mutant splicing factors programs exist in the absence of mutations? In our new preprint bit.ly/3SBqZSX with @LeeGrimesLab @dstarczynowski @Amitvermamds, we show these programs exist broadly in AML, impact LSC survival and can be reversed. #OncoSplice #PRMT5 #IRAK4
