SUZ12 SUZ12 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit

ENSG00000178691 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Component of the PRC2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene (PubMed:15225548, PubMed:15231737, PubMed:15385962, PubMed:16618801, PubMed:17344414, PubMed:18285464, PubMed:28229514, PubMed:29499137, PubMed:31959557). The PRC2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems (PubMed:12351676, PubMed:12435631, PubMed:15099518, PubMed:15225548, PubMed:15385962, PubMed:15684044, PubMed:16431907, PubMed:18086877, PubMed:18285464). Genes repressed by the PRC2 complex include HOXC8, HOXA9, MYT1 and CDKN2A (PubMed:15231737, PubMed:16618801, PubMed:17200670, PubMed:31959557). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12351676, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12435631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15099518, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15225548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15231737, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15385962, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684044, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16431907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16618801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17200670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17344414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18086877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18285464, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28229514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29499137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31959557}.

In 15 of 15 cancers, the evidence for SUZ12 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 0.19464999437332153 (upper bound 0.2919600009918213). 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 SUZ12's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of SUZ12's drugs are registered
