Deskripsi

Angelman syndrome (AS) is characterized by developmental delay and intellectual disability, but the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. Here the authors use induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons from AS patients and find impaired maturation of resting membrane potential and action potential firing, and defects in synaptic activity associated with the disease.
