Inhibition of STAG1 using ASOs for treatment of STAG2-deficient cancers
The cohesin complex is one of the most frequently mutated protein complexes in cancer. Cohesin mutations are associated with poor survival and there are no therapies that selectively target cohesin-mutant cancers. STAG2 is the most frequently…
