    Abstract

    Histone methyltransferase KMT2D is frequently mutated in lung tumors, and Alam et al. identify KMT2D as a lung tumor suppressor. KMT2D deficiency induces aberrant metabolic reprogramming via super-enhancer impairment, conferring sensitivity to glycolytic inhibitors in lung cancer with KMT2D-inactivating mutations.
