ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes play crucial roles in various biological processes including enhancing local DNA accessibility, regulating gene transcription, and facilitating DNA replication and repair. Based on their functional structural domains, these complexes may be categorized into four families, including SWI/SNF, ISWI, CHD and INO80. Such families are vital factors for regulating gene expression and play pivotal roles in developmental processes. Variants of genes encoding the components of such complexes have been closely associated with human developmental disorders and neurodevelopmental genetic syndromes. This review has summarized the classification, fundamental functions and underlying mechanism of the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, as well as common neurological genetic disorders due to variants of genes encoding the subunits of such complexes.
