Retinoic acid induced-1 (RAI1) is an important yet understudied histone code reader that when mutated in humans results in Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), a neurobehavioral disorder accompanied by signature craniofacial abnormalities.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who have an identifiable single-gene neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD), such as fragile X syndrome (FXS, FMR1), Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS, RAI1), or 2q23.1 deletion syndrome (del 2q23.1, MBD5) share phenotypic features, including a high prevalence of sleep disturbance.
