Abstract excerpt
Connecting rare genetic variants to neuropsychiatric disease mechanisms remains a significant challenge. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Pak et al. (2015) combine gene targeting and stem cell technologies to identify a significant cellular effect of rare penetrant NRXN1 mutations in human neurons, which was found to cause a defect in neurotransmitter release.
