Using the Allen Brain Cell Atlas of the Human Brain to Gain Insights into C-Terminal-Binding Protein 1 (CtBP1)’s Potential Function

C-terminal-binding proteins (CtBPs) dimerize and function predominantly as transcriptional corepressors by recruiting various chromatin-modifying factors to promoter-bound repressors. Hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, and tooth enamel defects syndrome (HADDTS) is a recently discovered neurodev...

description C-terminal-binding proteins (CtBPs) dimerize and function predominantly as transcriptional corepressors by recruiting various chromatin-modifying factors to promoter-bound repressors. Hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, and tooth enamel defects syndrome (HADDTS) is a recently discovered neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from a heterozygous missense mutation in <i>CTBP1</i>. It is often associated with the early onset of profound cerebellar atrophy in patients. Allen Institute’s Allen Brain Cell (ABC) atlas of human brain data was used to localize <i>CTBP1</i> expression in the brain to elucidate the etiology of HADDTS. Based on the ABC atlas, <i>CTBP1</i> is highly expressed in the upper rhombic lip supercluster, which gives rise to cerebellar cells and provides insights into the cerebellar pathophysiology observed in HADDTS patients.
