Elucidating the role of DEAF1 in neurodevelopment and shared molecular pathways in high-risk autism genes using cortical organoids
This work shows that a DEAF1 mutation in human embryonic stem cells disrupts chromatin accessibility at neuronal gene loci, leading to significant transcriptional alterations, and identifies WNT signaling, TGFβ superfamily signaling, and cell cycle regulation as commonly dysregulated pathways across multiple ASD-associ...
