Analysis of human data from the DECIPHER database indicates that CNVs within this locus, including both deletions and duplications, are often observed alongside neurological abnormalities, such as dyslexia and intellectual disability, although there is not enough evidence of a direct correlation or causative relationship. To investigate these possible associations, we generated mouse models with deletion and inversion mutations at this locus and carried out RNA-seq analysis to elucidate gene expression changes. We found that modifications in the Epb41l4a TAD boundary led to dysregulation of the Nrep gene, which plays a crucial role in nervous system development. These findings underscore the potential pathogenicity of these CNVs and highlight the crucial role of spatial genome architecture in gene expression regulation.",
