NSD1 nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1

ENSG00000165671 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Histone methyltransferase that dimethylates Lys-36 of histone H3 (H3K36me2). Transcriptional intermediary factor capable of both negatively or positively influencing transcription, depending on the cellular context. .

In 12 of 15 cancers, the evidence for NSD1 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.10711999982595444 (upper bound 0.1486400067806244). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of NSD1's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of NSD1's drugs are registered
