ABSTRACT
TET2 gene is a member of TET oncogene family. It has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene with important roles in myelopiesis. Recent studies have shown that TET2 protein takes part in demethylation by converting 5-methylcytosine (5-mc) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmc). Somatic TET2 inactivation leads to abnormal myelopiesis and myeloid malignancies. In this review,the structure and function of TET2 and the relationship between TET gene mutation and myeloid malignancies are summarized.
