It's been almost 12 years since we started our efforts to generate Son KO mice, which had tons of obstacles. Finally, sharing our publication on the first Son+/- mouse model!😃 Hope this model can contribute to ZTTK syndrome research and SON biology! insight.jci.org/articles/vie…
💛 The Ahn Lab proudly wore yellow for #ZTTKAwareness Month!
We stand with the ZTTK SON-Shine Foundation & the ZTTK community - raising awareness, advocating, & working to improve lives of our SON-Shines! ☀️

Can mutant splicing factors programs exist in the absence of mutations? In our new preprint bit.ly/3SBqZSX with @LeeGrimesLab @dstarczynowski @Amitvermamds, we show these programs exist broadly in AML, impact LSC survival and can be reversed. #OncoSplice #PRMT5 #IRAK4
Although I can’t travel to #ASH23, my student Leah Gehrs will represent our lab! Please come to poster #1301 on Saturday night to learn about our SON KO mouse models 🐭, SON’s function in HSC lineage fate, and how SON affects #ZTTKSyndrome. Collab with @ruilulab, @SteveLimLab1
