To allow studying the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team created a bank of 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines containing the mutations most strongly associated with the disorder. The achievement was made possible by developing a new and more efficient method for changing the genome of embryonic stem cells.
Although it is well understood that genetics influence the development of autism spectrum disorder, no one could yet pinpoint the precise cause and…
