Rare gene variants confer a high level of penetrance to neurodevelopmental disorders, but their developmental origin and cellular substrates remain poorly understood. To address this limitation, we explored the role of TBX1, a gene encoded in a rare copy number variant, in cell and mouse models. Here, we report that neonatal Tbx1 deficiency contributes to defective peripubertal social behavior and impairs the proliferation of neonatal neural stem/progenitor cells. Moreover, TBX1 transcriptionally regulates genes linked to post-embryonic neurogenesis and neurodevelopmental disorders associated with other rare gene variants. Our data indicate a precise time window and cell type through which the social dimension is altered by a gene encoded in a rare CNV and provide a potential common mechanistic basis for a group of neurodevelopmental disorders.
