Mutations in IKBKAP, encoding a subunit of Elongator, cause familial dysautonomia (FD), a severe neurodevelopmental disease with complex clinical characteristics. Elongator was previously linked not only with transcriptional elongation and histone acetylation but also with other cellular processes. Here, we used RNA interference (RNAi) and fibroblasts from FD patients to identify Elongator target genes and study the role of Elongator in transcription. Strikingly, whereas Elongator is recruited t ...[more]
