ARID1A, which is often mutated in human endometrial cancer, is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex. Here, the authors show that Arid1a mutations in the mouse endometrium and primary human endometrial epithelial cells cause widespread reprogramming of gene transcription and result in a loss of response to TGFβ.
