Disruption of the transcription factor <i>NEUROD2</i> causes an autism syndrome via cell-autonomous defects in cortical projection neurons
2018-04-12
Abstract excerpt
We identified seven families associating NEUROD2 pathogenic mutations with ASD and intellectual disability. To get insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms, we analyzed cortical development in Neurod2 KO mice. Cortical projection neurons (CPNs) over-migrated during embryogenesis, inducing abnormal thickness and laminar positioning of cortical layers. At juvenile ages, dendritic spine turnover and intrinsic...
