Abstract

Genetic depletion of ARID1B has been shown to act in a synthetically lethal manner to selectively kill cancer cells with mutations in the tumor suppressor ARID1A, one of the most frequently altered proteins in human cancer. However, no precision therapeutic targeting ARID1B in ARID1A-mutant cancer has been developed due to the lack of a classically druggable small-molecule binding pocket on ARID1B…
