Genes Associated with Autism Are Surprisingly LargeEnzymes called topoisomerases are crucial for the expression of extremely long genes, including many that have been linked to autismVirginia Hughes, SFARI.org
Previous research on autism risk disorder (ASD), developmental regulatory (DevReg), and central nervous system (CNS) genes suggests they tend to be large in size, enriched in nested repeats, and mutation intolerant. The relevance of these genomic features is intriguing yet poorly understood. In ...

Dominant and recessive traits refer to the way that genes are inherited during reproduction. For an offspring to receive a recessive trait, both genetic alleles have to be recessive. For an offspring to receive a dominant trait, only one of the genetic alleles has to be dominant. ...
Quinn, an autistic boy, and the line of toys he made before falling asleep. Repeatedly stacking or lining up objects is a behavior commonly associated with autism. Credit: Wikipedia. New light has been shed on the genetic relationship between autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and ASD-related tr...
a2)Autism is a group of conditions called autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The brains of people with ASDs develop differently from other people's brains. Doctors do not know what causes ASDs, but there are clues. It is believed a person's genes are mainly to blame, says autism expert Dr...

In neonates, DNAm CRP is associated with birth gestational age (GA), perinatal inflammatory processes, and MRI features of encephalopathy of prematurity [32]. Childhood SES is associated with differential DNAm in inflammation-related genes [33, 34] and at CpG sites that correlate with an ...
LONDON, March 14 (Xinhua) -- Some people are born to be more empathetic than others. A new study of some 46,800 people has found scientific evidence that genes to some degree impact how empathetic we are. The study, published on Monday in the journal Translational Psychiatry, found that ...
SNPs in UPP2 were associated with a sex-bias factor in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder55. Nonetheless, the enrichment analysis of specific datasets reported different groups of genes regarding their expression levels during neurodevelopment, suggesting specific contributions. We are aware ...
