There is an ever-growing accumulation of molecular associations to autism spectrum disorders (ASD), from causative genes to endophenotypes across multiple functional layers; […]

06/2020 - KMT2B and Neuronal Transdifferentiation: Bridging Basic Chromatin Mechanisms to Disease Actionability

The role of bona fide epigenetic regulators in the process of neuronal transdifferentiation was until recently largely uncharacterized, despite their key role in the physiological processes of neural fate acquisition and maintenance. In this commentary, we describe the main findings of our recent paper “KMT2B is selectively required for neuronal transdifferentiation, and its loss exposes dystonia candidate […]

06/2020 - Evaluating the effect of healthcare providers on the clinical path of heart failure patients through a semi-Markov, multi-state model

Background Investigating similarities and differences among healthcare providers, on the basis of patient healthcare experience, is of interest for policy making. Availability of high quality, routine health databases allows a more detailed analysis of performance across multiple outcomes, but requires appropriate statistical methodology. Methods Motivated by analysis of a clinical administrative database of 42,871 Heart […]
