Reduced neurite outgrowth and cell migration in both I-ASD and 16pDel neural precursor cells (NPCs).
(A) Representative image: neurite outgrowth at 48 hr: Sib NPCs have more cells with neurites (black arrows) than I-ASD NPCs (red arrows). (B) Quantification of % neurites in three pairs of I-ASD and Sibs: I-ASD NPCs have fewer neurites (%) than Sib NPCs in all families. For neurite graphs, each dot represents the % of cells with neurites in a single dish. Colors represent different clones. (C) Representative image: Sib neurospheres have migrating carpet of cells (dark) that move further than that of I-ASD neurosphere. (D) Cell migration in three pairs of I-ASD and Sibs: I-ASD NPCs migrate less than Sib NPCs in all families. For migration graphs, each dot represents an individual neurosphere. Student’s t-test: all Sib vs I-ASD comparisons. (E) Neurite % in Sibs, NIH, I-ASD, and 16pDel ASD. Each dot represents data from a single dish with different colors denoting different individuals. Both 16pDel and I-ASD have reduced neurites compared to Sib and NIH NPCs. (F) NPC migration in Sibs, NIH, I-ASD, and 16pDel ASD. Both 16pDel and I-ASD NPCs have reduced migration compared to both Sib and NIH. One-way ANOVA for all 16pDel experiments. For all graphs: NS = p>0.05, p≤0.05 = *, p≤0.01 = **, p≤0.001 = ***, p≤0.0001 = ****. Error bars represent standard error of means (SEM). For detailed N values please see Supplementary file 1.

Evaluation of the relationship between initial sphere size (ISS) and neurosphere migration.
R studio used for all analyses and models presented. (A) Table showing the relationship between ISS and neurosphere migration for Sibs, I-ASD, NIH, and 16pDel neurospheres (Migration~ISS, separate linear regression model for each group). As shown in the table, R2 values for all groups are very low indicating minimal relationship between ISS and migration. Moreover, there are no statistically significant relationships between ISS and migration in any diagnosis group as indicated by all p>0.05. Table showing the relationship between neurosphere migration, ISS, and diagnosis using model lm(Migration~ISS+Diagnosis) allowing us to understand how ISS and ‘Diagnosis’ influence migration when compared to control conditions. Once again, ISS as a whole (regardless of diagnosis) has minimal impact on neurosphere migration (increase in 105 μm2 p=0.255). On the other hand, I-ASD and 16pDel ‘Diagnosis’ has a significant impact (both in terms of effect size and statistical significance) on neurosphere migration. (C) Graph depicting actual neurosphere migration data in Sib, NIH, I-ASD, 16pDel ASD plotted against predicted data generated by removing the effect of ISS on neurosphere migration using linear regression outputs in R studio. By applying Student’s t-test, we find that there is no significant difference between the actual neurosphere migration data and the predicted migration data in which the impacts of ISS were controlled for with statistical linear modeling. This indicates that ISS has minimal impact on migration and consideration of ISS in our data is not necessary to study neurosphere migration. For all graphs: p≤0.05 = *, p≤0.01 = **, p≤0.001 = ***, p≤0.0001 = ****. Error bars represent SEM. N=3 individuals, 2 clones, and 2 neural inductions for each subfigure.

Alternative allele genotypes in the chr16.p11.2 deletion region in three I-ASD families.
The count of the heterozygous and homozygous alternative allele genotypes and their ratio in the chr16.p11.2 deletion region (chr16: 28,500,001–35,300,000). In the event of a chr16.p11.2 deletion, we expect no heterozygous genotypes in the region. The large number of heterozygous genotypes across all individuals in this region indicates that the deletion does not appear in any of the individuals in the three I-ASD families.
