Abstract
As humans age, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) occasionally acquire mutations in genes including DNMT3A that enable them to outcompete other HSCs and increase leukemia risk. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Tovy etal. (2020) report a previously uncharacterized mechanism by which DNMT3A loss confers increased fitness to HSCs by analyzing a rare experiment of nature.
