Chromatin regulator required for brain development: acts as a regulator of RNA elongation rate, thereby regulating neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and synaptic transmission. May act by mediating trimethylation of 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3), which is essential to allow on-time RNA elongation dynamics. Also monomethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1) in vitro. The relevance of histone methyltransferase activity is however subject to discussion

Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 23

A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRD23 patients manifest moderate to severe intellectual disability with additional variable features of brachycephaly, a low hairline, depressed nasal bridge, prominent high nasal root, tubular nose, upslanting palpebral fissures, long and smooth philtrum, micrognathia, thin upper lip, and crowded teeth. Behavioral problems, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, hand flapping with ritualized behavior, and autism, are prominent features.

Scaffold subunit of various histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes, such as the MOZ/MORF and HBO1 complexes, which have a histone H3 acetyltransferase activity (PubMed:16387653, PubMed:24065767, PubMed:27939640). Plays a key role in HBO1 complex by directing KAT7/HBO1 specificity towards histone H3 'Lys-14' acetylation (H3K14ac) (PubMed:24065767). Some HAT complexes preferentially mediate histone H3 'Lys-23' (H3K23ac) acetylation (PubMed:27939640). Positively regulates the transcription of RU

Intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies and ptosis

An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, delayed language, and facial dysmorphisms, most notably ptosis. Additional features may include poor growth, hypotonia, and seizures.
