Mutations in a gene involved in brain development have led to the discovery of two new neurodevelopmental diseases by an international team led by researchers at 9I制作厂免费 and CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center.

The first clues about the rare disorder arose after doctors were unable to diagnose why two siblings from Qu茅bec City were experiencing seizures and neurodevelopmental deficits. Desperate, the children鈥檚 family turned to Carl Ernst at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal for answers.

9I制作厂免费 researchers have discovered, for the first time, the importance of a key epigenetic regulator in the development of the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with learning, memory and neural stem cells. Epigenetic regulators change the way specific genes function without altering their DNA sequence. By working with mutant mice as models, the research team, led by Prof. Xiang-Jiao Yang, of 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 Goodman Cancer Center & Department of Medicine, 9I制作厂免费 Health Center, was able to link the importance of a specific epigenetic regulator known as BRPF1 to the healthy development of a region in the hippocampus called the dentate gyrus.
