Autism-associated NRXN1α deletion rewires the H3K27me3 landscape and epigenetically disrupts human neural induction
Findings indicate that NRXN1α deletion disrupts neural lineage commitment through a multi-layered disruption involving spliceosome dysregulation of chromatin regulatory genes, H3K27me3 redistribution at developmental promoters, and chromatin-level priming into non-neural fates.
