“…12 In addition, this study found that MBD5 and RAI1, along with FMR1, are involved in circadian and mTOR signaling pathways, both associated with sleep disturbance. 12 MBD5 appears to share molecular relationships with ASD-associated genes, including protein-binding relationships with FMR1, 31 APC, 32 and MEF2C 32 ( Figure 5). Further, based on our co-expression studies, haploinsufficiency of MBD5 results in dysregulation of other ASD-associated genes, including UBE3A (AS), RAI1 (SMS), TCF4 (PTHS), MEF2C (OMIM#613443), and FMR1 (FXS) ( Figure 5).…”
