The Autism Risk Factor CHD8 Is a Chromatin Activator in Human Neurons and Functionally Dependent on the ERK-MAPK Pathway Effector ELK1
2020-11-10
Abstract excerpt
The chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein CHD8 is among the most frequently found de-novo mutations in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 1–4 . Despite its prominent disease involvement, little is known about its molecular function in the human brain. CHD8 is believed to be a chromatin regulator, but mechanisms for its genomic targeting is also unclear. To elucidate the role of CHD8 in human neurons, we generated...
