Guido Sauter, Roland Eils, Christoph Plass, Raffaella Santoro and colleagues report that the gene encoding the epigenetic regulator BAZ2A is overexpressed in prostate cancer, where it interacts with EZH2 to induce aberrant gene silencing and cell proliferation. The authors find that BAZ2A levels are predictive of disease recurrence in patients with prostate cancer.
