Advancing the understanding of autism disease mechanisms through genetics

L de la Torre-Ubieta, H Won, JL Stein… - Nature medicine, 2016 - nature.com
Progress in understanding the genetic etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has fueled
remarkable advances in our understanding of its potential neurobiological mechanisms. …

Chromosome conformation elucidates regulatory relationships in developing human brain

H Won, L de La Torre-Ubieta, JL Stein, NN Parikshak… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
… We overlapped gene coordinates from Gencode v.19 with LD regions as defined in the
original study 22 to find genes that reside in LD regions. The closest genes and LD genes were …

Genome-wide changes in lncRNA, splicing, and regional gene expression patterns in autism

by gene co-expression modules 41 . This method uses GWAS summary statistics and LD

[PDF][PDF] A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of human neocortical development during mid-gestation

D Polioudakis, L de la Torre-Ubieta, J Langerman… - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
We performed RNA sequencing on 40,000 cells to create a high-resolution single-cell gene
expression atlas of developing human cortex, providing the first single-cell characterization …

[PDF][PDF] The dynamic landscape of open chromatin during human cortical neurogenesis

L de la Torre-Ubieta, JL Stein, H Won, CK Opland… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Non-coding regions comprise most of the human genome and harbor a significant fraction
of risk alleles for neuropsychiatric diseases, yet their functions remain poorly defined. We …

[PDF][PDF] Genetic control of expression and splicing in developing human brain informs disease mechanisms

…, C Hartl, N Mancuso, MJ Gandal, L De La Torre-Ubieta… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Tissue-specific regulatory regions harbor substantial genetic risk for disease. Because brain
development is a critical epoch for neuropsychiatric disease susceptibility, we characterized …

[HTML][HTML] The X-linked mental retardation gene SMCX/JARID1C defines a family of histone H3 lysine 4 demethylases

S Iwase, F Lan, P Bayliss, L de la Torre-Ubieta… - Cell, 2007 - cell.com
Histone methylation regulates chromatin structure and transcription. The recently identified
histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is chemically restricted to …
