Histone H2AX deficiency causes neurobehavioral deficits and impaired redox homeostasis

H2AX is a histone variant with an essential function in DNA double-strand break repair and genome stability. Here, Weyemi and colleagues show that loss of neuronal H2AX leads to locomotor dysfunction and alteration in oxidative stress response.
