The paper represses 87 high-confidence ASD genes in a human cortical neurogenesis model, identifying 17 genes that disrupt developmental trajectory and reveal convergence on microtubule biology and RNA-binding proteins.

The paper investigates the role of chromatin regulators in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by examining their involvement in microtubule biology and cellular proliferation, finding that ASD risk genes affect these processes and are enriched among microtubule-associated proteins.
