Relevance to Autism
Genetic association and rare variants have been found in the MBD4 gene associated with autism in a Caucasian and African-American cohort (Cukier et al., 2010).
Molecular Function
The encoded protein forms a complex with MLH1, binds to methyl-CpG-containing DNA, has homology to bacterial DNA repair glycosylases/lyases, and displays endonuclease activity.
