WAC loss alters food-associated behavior and physiological homeostasis with stage-associated cholinergic dysregulation in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

2026-04-21

Abstract excerpt

WAC is a chromatin-associated regulatory protein involved in transcriptional control and has been identified as an autism-associated gene in human genetic studies. However, its functional role in regulating behavior and synaptic processes remains incompletely understood. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we investigated the consequences of wac deficiency on food-associated social behavior, growth-associated phenotyp...
