The m6A-mediated epi-transcriptomic dysregulation drives synaptic dysfunction in fragile X syndrome.

It is demonstrated that FMRP deficiency drives the aberrant translational upregulation of core m6A writers, a causal relationship definitively validated using CGG-corrected isogenic control lines and suggest a promising avenue for m6A-targeted therapies.

Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery: a decade of insights into the molecular basis.

It is proposed that MDEMs are characterized by distributed, often subtle chromatin and gene expression perturbations, which impact diverse cellular pathways and processes and are frequently shared between distinct disorders, occupying an intermediate space between classical monogenic disorders and complex traits.

FMR1 gene therapy restores translationally relevant phenotypes in a mouse model for fragile X syndrome.

It is shown that FMR1 gene therapy using delivery routes and vehicles approved for clinical use improves core phenotypes in a mouse model for FXS, and suggests that a dual route may be needed to achieve full brain coverage.
