Shanghai scientists have located a new pathogenic locus in a gene closely related to autism, and have developed a gene editor that can correct the mutated gene and thus improve autistic behaviors in mice. A paper about the joint research by the scientists from the Songjiang Institute of Shangha...
"There is a growing need to distinguish genes that are more likely to be associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and which ones with intellectual disabilities (ID)," Gecz said in a statement released on Tuesday. "This research aimed to address some of these difficult questions by look...
He said: "Because other autism researchers have madeintriguing18(吸引人的,有趣的)suggestions that autism arises from abnormal connections among brain cells during early development, it is very compelling to find evidence thatmutations(变化,转变)in genes involved in brain interconnections increase a chi...
A new study led by Columbia researchers has uncovered 60 genes linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that may provide important clues to the causes of autism across the full spectrum of the disorder. Main Item "Overall, the genes we found may represent a different class of genes that are...
Association between the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene and autism: relationship to Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and cognition Evidence both from animal and human studies suggests that common polymorphisms in the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene are likely candidates to confer risk fo...

“This is really nice work that shows the importance of zebrafish in revealing disease mechanisms related to human mental disorders — in this case, autism,” says Guo, who was not involved in this study. In work that has just begun, Sive’s lab is working with Stanford University researcher...
Genes known to be essential to life—the ones humans need to survive and thrive in the womb—also play a critical role in the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggests a new study from Penn Medicine geneticists published online today in the
According to some estimates, hundreds of genes may be associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but it has been difficult to determine which mutations are truly involved in the disease and which are incidental. New work published in the journal Sc
The last several years have seen unprecedented advances in deciphering the genetic etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Heritability studies have repeatedly affirmed a contribution of genetic factors to the overall disease risk. Technical breakthroughs have enabled the search for these genetic fac...
