Sciacovelli et al. find that the higher levels of intracellular fumarate that result from loss of fumarate hydratase (FH), which causes hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC), promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Fumarate inhibits tet methylcytosine dioxygenase (TET) family enzymes, and the
