Charles Mullighan, Jinghui Zhang and colleagues characterize a subtype of B-progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia with deregulated DUX4 and ERG. They find that aberrant DUX4 activation results in loss of ERG function, either through deletion or by the induction a novel transforming ERG isoform, ERGalt, that inhibits wild-type ERG activity.
