Many of the ASD Many of the ASD genes are also genes are also cancer relatedcancer related

Recently Recently mutations in mutations in multiple epigenetic multiple epigenetic regulators have regulators have been found in ASD been found in ASD patientspatients
Epigenetic definitionEpigenetic definition
““Non-genetic events” which result in Non-genetic events” which result in stable and inheritablestable and inheritable gene expression gene expression patterns.patterns.
Epigenetic changes are LONG term Epigenetic changes are LONG term changes, not necessarily related to changes, not necessarily related to histone mediated transcriptional controlhistone mediated transcriptional control

Gene regulation is divided into 2 sub-regions, Gene regulation is divided into 2 sub-regions, regulatory and ORF (gene encoding)regulatory and ORF (gene encoding)
In general, histone modification of the ORF is a In general, histone modification of the ORF is a on/off mark due to the absolute requirement of on/off mark due to the absolute requirement of these marks for RNA Polymerase accessthese marks for RNA Polymerase access
Histone modifications in the promoter generally Histone modifications in the promoter generally are the “tuner” increasing the amount of mRNA are the “tuner” increasing the amount of mRNA made.made.

Abrogation of KDM5/Co-factor here to elucidate the role of this complex in acquisition of neural lineage.
Epigenetics of differentiation, can transient expression block/enhance terminal differentiation
(can use adult sphere forming cells including Breast, Prostate from human/mouse)
3Cell lineage selection; can expression during terminal differentiation, modify the type of neuron that is made
ORCause de-differentiation/proliferation (iPSC/Cancer)
