  text: Mutations in the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) gene are a frequent
    cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While its phenotypic spectrum often encompasses
    macrocephaly, implicating cortical abnormalities, how CHD8 haploinsufficiency
    affects neurodevelopmental is unclear. Here, employing human cerebral organoids,
    we find that CHD8 haploinsufficiency disrupted neurodevelopmental trajectories
    with an accelerated and delayed generation of, respectively, inhibitory and excitatory
    neurons that yields, at days 60 and 120, symmetrically opposite expansions in
    their proportions. This imbalance is consistent with an enlargement of cerebral
    organoids as an in vitro correlate of patients’ macrocephaly. Through an isogenic
    design of patient-specific mutations and mosaic organoids, we define genotype-phenotype
    relationships and uncover their cell-autonomous nature. Our results define cell-type-specific
    CHD8-dependent molecular defects related to an abnormal program of proliferation
    and alternative splicing. By identifying cell-type-specific effects of CHD8 mutations,
    our study uncovers reproducible developmental alterations that may be employed
    for neurodevelopmental disease modeling.

  text: De novo loss of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene Cullin3
    lead to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In mouse, constitutive haploinsufficiency
    leads to motor coordination deficits as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive
    impairments. However, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency later in life does
    not lead to ASD-relevant behaviors, pointing to an important role of Cul3 during
    a critical developmental window. Here we show that Cul3 is essential to regulate
    neuronal migration and, therefore, constitutive Cul3 heterozygous mutant mice
    display cortical lamination abnormalities. At the molecular level, we found that
    Cul3 controls neuronal migration by tightly regulating the amount of Plastin3
    (Pls3), a previously unrecognized player of neural migration. Furthermore, we
    found that Pls3 cell-autonomously regulates cell migration by regulating actin
    cytoskeleton organization, and its levels are inversely proportional to neural
    migration speed. Finally, we provide evidence that cellular phenotypes associated
    with autism-linked gene haploinsufficiency can be rescued by transcriptional activation
    of the intact allele in vitro, offering a proof of concept for a potential therapeutic
    approach for ASDs.

  text: "The development of the human brain occurs through a tightly regulated series
    of dynamic and adaptive processes during prenatal and postnatal life. A disruption
    of this strictly orchestrated series of events can lead to a number of neurodevelopmental
    conditions, including Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). ASDs are a very common,
    etiologically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of disorders sharing the
    core symptoms of social interaction and communication deficits and restrictive
    and repetitive interests and behaviors. They are estimated to affect one in 59
    individuals in the U.S. and, over the last three decades, mutations in more than
    a hundred genetic loci have been convincingly linked to ASD pathogenesis. Yet,
    for the vast majority of these ASD-risk genes their role during brain development
    and precise molecular function still remain elusive.\r\nDe novo loss of function
    mutations in the ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene Cullin 3 (CUL3) lead to ASD. In
    the study described here, we used Cul3 mouse models to evaluate the consequences
    of Cul3 mutations in vivo. Our results show that Cul3 heterozygous knockout mice
    exhibit deficits in motor coordination as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive
    impairments. Cul3+/-, Cul3+/fl Emx1-Cre and Cul3fl/fl Emx1-Cre mutant brains display
    cortical lamination abnormalities due to defective migration of post-mitotic excitatory
    neurons, as well as reduced numbers of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In line
    with the observed abnormal cortical organization, Cul3 heterozygous deletion is
    associated with decreased spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory activity in the
    cortex. At the molecular level we show that Cul3 regulates cytoskeletal and adhesion
    protein abundance in the mouse embryonic cortex. Abnormal regulation of cytoskeletal
    proteins in Cul3 mutant neural cells results in atypical organization of the actin
    mesh at the cell leading edge. Of note, heterozygous deletion of Cul3 in adult
    mice does not induce the majority of the behavioral defects observed in constitutive
    Cul3 haploinsufficient animals, pointing to a critical time-window for Cul3 deficiency.\r\nIn
    conclusion, our data indicate that Cul3 plays a critical role in the regulation
    of cytoskeletal proteins and neuronal migration. ASD-associated defects and behavioral
    abnormalities are primarily due to dosage sensitive Cul3 functions at early brain
    developmental stages."

  text: De novo loss of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene Cullin3
    (CUL3) lead to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here, we used Cul3 mouse models
    to evaluate the consequences of Cul3 mutations in vivo. Our results show that
    Cul3 haploinsufficient mice exhibit deficits in motor coordination as well as
    ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. Cul3 mutant brain displays cortical
    lamination abnormalities due to defective neuronal migration and reduced numbers
    of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In line with the observed abnormal columnar
    organization, Cul3 haploinsufficiency is associated with decreased spontaneous
    excitatory and inhibitory activity in the cortex. At the molecular level, employing
    a quantitative proteomic approach, we show that Cul3 regulates cytoskeletal and
    adhesion protein abundance in mouse embryos. Abnormal regulation of cytoskeletal
    proteins in Cul3 mutant neuronal cells results in atypical organization of the
    actin mesh at the cell leading edge, likely causing the observed migration deficits.
    In contrast to these important functions early in development, Cul3 deficiency
    appears less relevant at adult stages. In fact, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency
    in adult mice does not result in the behavioral defects observed in constitutive
    Cul3 haploinsufficient animals. Taken together, our data indicate that Cul3 has
    a critical role in the regulation of cytoskeletal proteins and neuronal migration
    and that ASD-associated defects and behavioral abnormalities are primarily due
    to Cul3 functions at early developmental stages.

  text: The possibility to generate construct valid animal models enabled the development
    and testing of therapeutic strategies targeting the core features of autism spectrum
    disorders (ASDs). At the same time, these studies highlighted the necessity of
    identifying sensitive developmental time windows for successful therapeutic interventions.
    Animal and human studies also uncovered the possibility to stratify the variety
    of ASDs in molecularly distinct subgroups, potentially facilitating effective
    treatment design. Here, we focus on the molecular pathways emerging as commonly
    affected by mutations in diverse ASD-risk genes, on their role during critical
    windows of brain development and the potential treatments targeting these biological
    processes.

  text: SETD5 gene mutations have been identified as a frequent cause of idiopathic
    intellectual disability. Here we show that Setd5-haploinsufficient mice present
    developmental defects such as abnormal brain-to-body weight ratios and neural
    crest defect-associated phenotypes. Furthermore, Setd5-mutant mice show impairments
    in cognitive tasks, enhanced long-term potentiation, delayed ontogenetic profile
    of ultrasonic vocalization, and behavioral inflexibility. Behavioral issues are
    accompanied by abnormal expression of postsynaptic density proteins previously
    associated with cognition. Our data additionally indicate that Setd5 regulates
    RNA polymerase II dynamics and gene transcription via its interaction with the
    Hdac3 and Paf1 complexes, findings potentially explaining the gene expression
    defects observed in Setd5-haploinsufficient mice. Our results emphasize the decisive
    role of Setd5 in a biological pathway found to be disrupted in humans with intellectual
    disability and autism spectrum disorder.

  text: Circumferential skin creases Kunze type (CSC-KT) is a specific congenital
    entity with an unknown genetic cause. The disease phenotype comprises characteristic
    circumferential skin creases accompanied by intellectual disability, a cleft palate,
    short stature, and dysmorphic features. Here, we report that mutations in either
    MAPRE2 or TUBB underlie the genetic origin of this syndrome. MAPRE2 encodes a
    member of the microtubule end-binding family of proteins that bind to the guanosine
    triphosphate cap at growing microtubule plus ends, and TUBB encodes a β-tubulin
    isotype that is expressed abundantly in the developing brain. Functional analyses
    of the TUBB mutants show multiple defects in the chaperone-dependent tubulin heterodimer
    folding and assembly pathway that leads to a compromised yield of native heterodimers.
    The TUBB mutations also have an impact on microtubule dynamics. For MAPRE2, we
    show that the mutations result in enhanced MAPRE2 binding to microtubules, implying
    an increased dwell time at microtubule plus ends. Further, in vivo analysis of
    MAPRE2 mutations in a zebrafish model of craniofacial development shows that the
    variants most likely perturb the patterning of branchial arches, either through
    excessive activity (under a recessive paradigm) or through haploinsufficiency
    (dominant de novo paradigm). Taken together, our data add CSC-KT to the growing
    list of tubulinopathies and highlight how multiple inheritance paradigms can affect
    dosage-sensitive biological systems so as to result in the same clinical defect.
