Cohen Syndrome Patient iPSC-Derived Neurospheres and Forebrain-Like Glutamatergic Neurons Reveal Reduced Proliferation of Neural Progenitor Cells and Altered Expression of Synapse Genes

Abstract excerpt

Cohen syndrome (CS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, has been associated with genetic mutations in the VPS13B gene, which regulates vesicle-mediated protein sorting and transport. However, the cellular mechanism underlying CS pathogenesis in patient-derived human neurons remains unknown. We identified a novel compound heterozygous mutation, due to homozygous variation of biparental origin and heterozygous...
