SMCHD1 has separable roles in chromatin architecture and gene silencing that could be targeted in disease

Andrés Tapia del Fierro, Bianca den Hamer, Natalia Benetti, Natasha Jansz, Kelan Chen, Tamara J Beck, Hannah Kate Vanyai, Alexandra D. Gurzau, Lucia Daxinger, Shifeng Xue, Thanh Thao Nguyen Ly, Iromi Wanigasuriya, Megan Iminitoff, Kelsey A. Breslin, Harald Oey, , Marnie E. Blewitt

This study identifies a mutation in SMCHD1 that enhances gene silencing and disrupts developmental processes, revealing distinct roles of SMCHD1 in chromatin structure and gene regulation.

Maternal SMCHD1 controls both imprinted Xist expression and imprinted X chromosome inactivation

Iromi Wanigasuriya, Sarah Kinkel, Tamara J Beck, Ellise A Roper, Kelsey A. Breslin, Heather J Lee, Andrew Keniry, Matthew E. Ritchie, Marnie E. Blewitt, Quentin A. Gouil

This study shows maternal SMCHD1 is essential for imprinted Xist expression and X chromosome inactivation in mouse embryos and placenta.

Smchd1 is a maternal effect gene required for autosomal imprinting

Iromi Wanigasuriya, Quentin A. Gouil, Sarah Kinkel, Andrés Tapia del Fierro, Tamara J Beck, Ellise A Roper, Kelsey A. Breslin, Jessica M. Stringer, Karla J. Hutt, Heather J Lee, Andrew Keniry, Matthew E. Ritchie, Marnie E. Blewitt

This study identifies Smchd1 as a maternal effect gene that regulates imprinted expression of 16 genes by translating polycomb-mediated histone methylation marks into a heritable chromatin state.
