Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PTEN, a syndromic autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk gene, is mutated in approximately 10% of macrocephalic ASD cases. Despite the described genetic association between PTEN and ASD and ensuing studies, we continue to have a limited understanding of how PTEN disruption drives ASD pathogenesis and maintenance. METHODS: We derived neural stem cells (NSCs) from the dentate gyrus (DG) of Ptenm3m4 mice, a...
