    Kleefstra syndrome is associated with decreased H9K3 methylation in the brain, which leads to intellectual disability



    Researchers at Riken’s pioneering research cluster (CPR) report that Clive Stella syndrome, a genetic disease that causes intellectual disability, can be reversed in a mouse model after birth


    Normally, we will get two good copies of most genes, one each from one parent


    Considering that additional GLP may be an effective treatment, the researchers conducted a series of experiments on mice designed to have only one intact copy of the EHMT1 gene


    Researchers artificially induced the production of GLP after birth in two experiments, one in the entire brain and the other in adult neurons in the brain


    The researchers next wanted to know why their treatment was fully effective only when GLP increased in the entire brain and not just in neurons


    Since this is the first report of neuroinflammation in Cliff Stella syndrome, the next step is to investigate whether it also occurs in humans
