TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --low  
in microtubule dynamics sufficient to decrease focal adhesion turnover, and decreased dynamics of hyperacetylated microtubules in HDAC6-inhibited cells compromises their capacity to mediate the focal adhesion dynamics required for rapid cell migration
constitutional     --over  
may, through its interaction with RUNX2, alter the IHH developmental pathway and thus lead to abnormal bone morphogenesis

neurology  
HDAC6 inhibitors are a therapeutic strategy for hereditary axonopathies
neuromuscularspinal muscular atrophy 
with HDAC2 may be the most compelling targets for SMA therapy (inhibition of HDAC6 alters potentially the stability of the SMN protein by countering any mechanism that may promote the proteosome based degradation of SMN)
