Abstract excerpt
Copy-number variants (CNVs) of chromosome 15q13.3 manifest clinically as neuropsychiatric disorders with variable expressivity. CHRNA7, encoding for the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), has been suggested as a candidate gene for the phenotypes observed. Here, we used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from individuals with heterozygous 15q13.3 deletions...
