The chromatin remodeler Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4) is crucial for the development of multiple organ systems. Functional mutations of CHD4 have recently been described in a developmental disorder, namely Siffrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome (SIHIWES). Herein, we have generated a homozygous CHD4G1003D hESC line (WAe025-A-1) using CRISPR/eCas9-based gene editing in the WA-25 hESC line. The edited hESC line maintains normal karyotype, pluripotency, and ability to differentiate into three germ layers. This cell line will be a valuable resource for studying the functional role of CHD4 during the development and disease modeling of SIHIWES in vitro.

Loss-of-function mutations in the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) gene are strongly associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Indeed, the reduction of CHD8 causes transcriptional, epigenetic and cellular phenotypic changes correlated to disease, that can be monitored in assessing new therapeutic approaches. SINEUPs are a functional class of natural and synthetic antisense long non-coding RNAs able to stimulate the translation of sense target mRNA, with no effect on transcription.

CHD6, a member of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein family, has been implicated in various diseases and tumors. However, its precise binding model of CHD6 on regulatory functional genes remains poorly understood. In this study, we discovered sharp peaks of CHD6, as the first member of CHD family for housekeeping process, binding only to the promoter region of genes in the C4-2 cell line.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 3 (CHD3) in tooth morphogenesis in Chd3 knockout mice.
Methods: Chd3 knockout mice were generated using the CRISPR-Cas9 method. Mandibular first molars were extracted from the mice and their littermates and morphometrically analyzed.

The Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding (CHD) protein family is ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins that utilize energy produced by ATP hydrolysis to regulate chromatin structure and thereby modulate gene expression. The earliest report of a CHD3 gene mutation was by O'Roak, who found it during whole exome sequencing of 189 autism families in 2012. In 2018, Snijders Blok systematically assessed the autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by CHD3 gene damage, known as Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS, OMIM 618205).

: The gene encodes chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 8 (CHD8), which is a transcriptional regulator involved in neuron development, myelination, and synaptogenesis. Some gene mutations lead to neurodevelopmental syndromes with core symptoms of autism. The aim of this study was to perform an analysis of the family-based association of gene polymorphisms with the occurrence and clinical phenotype of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
