Several of these are crucial for progenitor proliferation, namely, Pax6 (Warren et al., 1999), Lhx2 (Chou and O’Leary, 2013; Hsu et al., 2015), Aspm (Fish et al., 2006), Auts2 (Fair et al., 2023; Shimaoka et al., 2024), etc. This finding suggests a potential association between RBBP4 mutations and autism. The gene discussed is AUTS2; the disease is autism.
