Kleefstra syndrome, caused by haploinsufficiency of euchromatin histone methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1), is characterized intellectual disability (ID), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), characteristic facial dysmorphisms, and other variable clinical features. In addition to EHMT1 mutations, de novo variants were reported in four additional genes (MBD5, SMARCB1, NR1I3, KMT2C), single individuals with characteristics overlapping syndrome. Here, we present a novel cohort five patients loss function...
Many insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory have been elucidated through use of simple behavioral assays in model organisms such as fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. is useful for understanding basic neurobiology cognitive deficits resulting from mutations genes associated with human disorders, intellectual disability (ID) autism. This work describes a methodology testing using classic paradigm known courtship conditioning. Male flies court females distinct...
Abstract Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare multisystem disorder, characterized by intellectual disability, growth delay, and distinctive craniofacial features. It mostly caused de novo mutations of KMT2D , which responsible for histone H3lysine 4 mono-methylation (H3K4me1) that marks active poised enhancers. We assessed the impact on chromatin transcriptional regulation in cohort multiple KS1 tissues, including primary patient samples disease-relevant lineages, namely cortical neurons (iN),...
The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are ubiquitously expressed enzymes that catalyze the esterification of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. Autoantibodies against several found in autoimmune polymyositis and dermatomyositis patients. Because necrosis is often skeletal muscle biopsies these patients, we hypothesized cell-death-induced protein modifications may help breaking immunological tolerance. Since cell death associated with oxidative stress, effect stress on main myositis-specific...
