A mouse model of Timothy syndrome exhibits altered social competitive dominance and inhibitory neuron development

Multiple genetic factors related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been identified, but the biological mechanisms remain obscure. Timothy syndrome (TS), associated with syndromic ASD, is caused by a gain‐of‐function mutation, G406R, in the pore‐forming subunit of L‐type Ca2+ channels, Cav1.2. I...
