Leveraging the Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery to systematically map functional epigenetic variation

Although each Mendelian Disorder of the Epigenetic Machinery (MDEM) has a different causative gene, there are shared disease manifestations. We hypothesize that this phenotypic convergence is a consequence of shared epigenetic alterations. To identify such shared alterations, we interrogate chromati...
