From the 2022 Joint Annual Meeting (recorded 6/29/2022)
Presented by Matthew Tedder, PhD

This presentation will provide an introduction to epigenetics and establish a foundation for understanding epigenetic regulation of genes. The implications of disruptions to epigenetic machinery, phenotypes associated with Mendelian disorders of epigenetics machinery, and diagnostic approaches for identifying these disorders will also be discussed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

• summarize epigenetics and epigenetic mechanisms for regulating gene expression
• identify common disorders of epigenetic machinery
• describe diagnostic approaches for identifying Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery
