Rebalancing gene haploinsufficiency in vivo by targeting chromatin
Deficit in transcription factor Tbx1 causes heart defects in humans and mice. Here the authors show that Tbx1 regulates gene expression by recruiting histone methyltransferases that affect chromatin marks, and that a drug inhibiting histone demethylation ameliorates the cardiovascular phenotype in T...

| Sumario: | Deficit in transcription factor Tbx1 causes heart defects in humans and mice. Here the authors show that Tbx1 regulates gene expression by recruiting histone methyltransferases that affect chromatin marks, and that a drug inhibiting histone demethylation ameliorates the cardiovascular phenotype in Tbx1 haploinsufficient or hypomorphic mice. |
