Autism-associated CHD8 keeps proliferation of human neural progenitors in check by lengthening the G1 phase of the cell cycle
2021-03-04
Abstract excerpt
CHD8 (Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 8) is a chromatin remodeler that preferentially regulates expression of genes implicated in early development of the cerebral cortex. De novo mutations (DNMs) in CHD8 are strongly associated with a specific subtype of autism characterized by enlarged foreheads and distinct cranial features. The vast majority of these DNMs are heterozygous loss-of-function mutations...
