Neuronal network dysfunction in a model for Kleefstra syndrome mediated by enhanced NMDAR signaling

Kleefstra syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with hapoinsufficiency of the histone methyltransferase EHMT1. Here the authors show using induced pluripotent cells-derived neurons from patients that network dysfunction occurs and is due to dysfunction of the NMDA receptor.
