In this regard, haploinsufficiency of the zinc finger and broad complex, tramtrack, bric and brac domain\u2013containing protein 20 (\n                    <jats:italic>ZBTB20<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) leads to a prototypical clinical picture, referred to as Primrose syndrome, comprising severe ASD symptoms together with intellectual disability. Here, we present a comprehensive behavioral and phenotypical characterization of\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      Zbtb20\n                      <jats:sup>+\/\u2013<\/jats:sup>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    mice, a construct valid model of this thus far untreatable human condition.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      Zbtb20\n                      <jats:sup>+\/\u2013<\/jats:sup>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    mice exhibited diminished sociability, reduced vocalization, distinct repetitive behaviors, impaired cognitive flexibility, hyperactivity, and hypoalgesia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed increased volumes of hippocampus, cerebellum, brain matter, and whole brain, confirmed by postmortem brain weight measurements. Due to our previous observation of enhanced ZBTB20 expression in CA1 pyramidal neurons upon recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) injections, we anticipated a mitigating effect through rhEPO treatment of\n                    <jats:italic>Zbtb20<\/jats:italic>\n                    deficiency\/Primrose syndrome. Indeed, after 3 weeks of alternate-day rhEPO injections, a remarkable improvement in the behavioral phenotype was observed. Our results highlight rhEPO as promising treatment for Primrose syndrome.\n
