Abstract excerpt
Diverse risk genes have been identified for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), but how these genes converge on similar biological pathways in neurons, and thus give rise to similar phenotypes, is unclear. Here we apply a pooled CRISPR approach to successfully target 23 NDD loss-of-function genes with roles in chromatin biology and examine convergent effects on gene expression across human induced pluripotent...
