Exploring the epigenetic landscape: The role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in neurodevelopmental disorders by Mohamed Adil Shah Khoodoruth (14589828)

“…By examining mouse models, studies have demonstrated that prenatal environmental challenges, such as maternal infection and food allergies, lead to significant epigenetic alterations in 5hmC levels, which were associated with NDDs in offspring, impacting social behavior, cognitive abilities and increasing ASD-like symptoms. In human studies, researchers have linked alterations in 5hmC levels NDDs through studies in individuals with ASD, fragile X syndrome, TET3 deficiency and ID, specifically identifying significant epigenetic modifications in genes such as <i>GAD1, RELN, FMR1 </i>and <i>EN-2</i>, suggesting that dysregulation of 5hmC played a critical role in the pathogenesis of these disorders and highlighted the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions. …”
