Of more broad relevance, our findings of altered post-transcriptional RNA dynamics link CHD8 with other ASD/NDD genes with primary function in RNA processing, for example FMR1/FMRP74,75, and our finding of pathology arising do to disruption of this function may by a more broad hallmark of ASD76,77. This evidence concerns the gene FMR1 and Neurodevelopmental delay.
