AbstractDyrk1A deficiency is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental delays, intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Haploinsufficiency of Dyrk1a in mice reportedly leads to ASD-related phenotypes. However, the key pathological mechanisms remain unclear and human DYRK1A mutations remain uncharacterized in mice. Here, we generated and studied Dyrk1a-knockin mice carrying a human ASD patient mutation (Ile48LysfsX2; Dyrk1a-I48K mice).
