Exploring PIEZO1 DNA methylation in infants with neurodevelopmental disorders by Eleonora Mascheroni, Fabiana Mambretti, Laura Cordolcini, Annalisa Castagna, Elisa Rosa, Niccolò Butti, Andrea Citterio, Nivedita Agarwal, Rosario Montirosso

“…In PC2, DNAm levels were lower in infants with NDs compared to TD, suggesting hypomethylation in the clinical group, which, in turn, might impact the degree of Piezo1 protein expression.ConclusionWe speculate that PIEZO1 hypomethylation as a potential epigenetic mark could contribute to the poorer mechanical properties of brain tissue in infants with NDs by altering the Piezo1 expression patterns. These findings suggest that the PIEZO1 DNAm status could serve as an early epigenetic marker of NDs, offering promising implications for identifying underlying mechanisms involved in their onset.…”
