Methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) is enriched on active promoters and enhancers where it promotes gene activation. Disruption of H3K4 methylation is associated with numerous neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs) that display intellectual disability and abnormal body growth. Here, we perturb H3K4 methylation in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) and hypothalamus, two brain regions associated with these...
