Abstract

How rare protein-disrupting risk variants implicated in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) interact or functionally converge is unknown. Pintacuda et al.¹ perform proteomics in induced human neurons and identify more than 1,000 interactions, 90% of which were not previously reported, emphasizing the importance of cell-type- and isoform-specific protein interactions in ASD.
