Loss of the histone H3K36me3 mark is frequently observed in cancer cells, suggesting this epigenetic mark as an important therapeutic target. Evidence will be presented indicating that H3K36me3-deficient cancer cells can be effectively targeted using the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775. The underlying mechanism of this synthetic lethality and its implications will be discussed.
