Grant Activity:
Investigating epigenetic regulators of disease and novel epigenetic treatment approaches for imprinting disorders
Purpose:
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS) are incurable disorders caused by a lack of expression of the paternal copy of particular genes. Patients have normal maternal copies but these are switched off. A potential treatment is to activate the silenced copies by removing the function of proteins that normally repress their expression. Here we will investigate a new potential treatment for PWS/SYS targeting the protein called SMCHD1 that normally switches off these genes.
