Abstract
Christian et al. find that neurodevelopmental disease-associated DNMT3A mutations have shared neuronal DNA methylation deposition deficits. DNMT3AKO/+ mice display reduced global non-CG DNA methylation, behavior, and growth phenotypes relevant to human disease. Transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in these mice overlap models of Rett syndrome and autism, suggesting convergent pathology.
