Abstract
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) include a variety of developmental brain disorders with clinical findings implicating the dysfunction of the left hemisphere. Here, we generate mice lacking one copy ofSh3rf2, which was detected in ASD patients, to determine whether Sh3rf2 is involved in brain development and whether mutation ofSH3RF2is causative for ASD and the mechanisms linking it to ASD traits. We find that mice withSh3rf2haploinsufficiency display significant deficits in social interactionand communication, as well as stereotyped orrepetitive behaviors and hyperactivity and seizures. Disturbances in hippocampal dendritic spine development, aberrant composition of glutamatergic receptor subunits, and abnormal excitatory synaptictransmission were detected in heterozygous mutants. Remarkably, these defects are selectively unilateral. Our results support a notion thatSh3rf2haploinsufficiency is a highly penetrant risk factor for ASD, with disease pathogenesis most likely resulting from deficits in synaptic function in the left hemisphere of the brain.
