Cohesin Mutations Induce Chromatin Conformation Perturbation of the <i>H19</i>/<i>IGF2</i> Imprinted Region and Gene Expression Dysregulation in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Cell Lines

Traditionally, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is considered a cohesinopathy caused by constitutive mutations in cohesin complex genes. Cohesin is a major regulator of chromatin architecture, including the formation of chromatin loops at the imprinted <i>IGF2</i>/<i>H19</i>...
