Abstract
The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in children is increasing, yet their underlying causes remain largely unknown. We identified heterozygous mutations in the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) E3 ligases RING1 and RNF2 in individuals with NDDs and revealed distinct mechanisms by which they compromise PRC1 activity. We developed cellular and mouse models carrying the Ring1b
