This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $264,600 to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to investigate the mechanisms underlying CBX1-related syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by variants in the CBX1 gene that encodes the heterochromatin protein HP1β. The award will fund the...
This $429,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant supports research to define the impact of Kleefstra Syndrome-associated genomic variants within the ankyrin domain on the structural dynamics of the EHMT1 protein, and to elucidate the underlying biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of EHMT1 dysfunction caused by these variants. The...
