15q11.2–13.3 chromatin analysis reveals epigenetic regulation of CHRNA7 with deficiencies in Rett and autism brain

TL;DR: Loss of long-range chromatin interactions within 15q11.2-13.3 may contribute to multiple human neurodevelopmental disorders, and transcription of CHRNA7 is modulated by Chromatin interactions with the PWS-IC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cumulative Impact of Polychlorinated Biphenyl and Large Chromosomal Duplications on DNA Methylation, Chromatin, and Expression of Autism Candidate Genes

TL;DR: It is found that significant global DNA hypomethylation is enriched over autism candidate genes and affects gene expression, demonstrating the compounding effects of genetic and environmental insults on the neuronal methylome that converge upon dysregulation of chromatin and synaptic genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuron-specific impairment of inter-chromosomal pairing and transcription in a novel model of human 15q-duplication syndrome

TL;DR: Data from a novel maternal 15q duplication neuronal model support a model where 15q11-q13 genes are regulated epigenetically at the level of both inter- and intra-chromosomal associations and that chromosome imbalance disrupts the epigenetic regulation of genes in 15q 11-q 13.
