Pogz deficiency leads to transcription dysregulation and impaired cerebellar activity underlying autism-like behavior in mice

POGZ is an autism spectrum disorder risk gene. How POGZ mutations result in ASD is unclear and animal models are lacking. Here, the authors generate a brain specific Pogz deficient mouse presenting ASD-like behaviour and show the effects of Pogz deficiency in the cerebellum.
