Mutations in thyroid hormone receptor α1 cause premature neurogenesis and progenitor cell depletion in human cortical development
2019-01-26
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor α 1 gene (THRA) have recently been identified as a cause of intellectual deficit in humans. Patients present with structural abnormalities including microcephaly, reduced cerebellar volume and decreased axonal density. Here, we show that directed differentiation of THRA mutant patient-derived iPSCs to forebrain neural progenitors is markedly reduced, but mutant progenitor...
