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...
“An important implication is that because the majority of instances of autism appear to involve multiple genes, specific gene combinations may worsen effects. New therapeutics may one day be developed that influence particular signaling mechanisms in the disorder,” said Mriganka Sur, the Newton Prof...
Scientists have produced the most compelling evidence to date that genetics play a key role in autism. 科学家已经发现强有力的证据证明基因对孤独症起关键性作用。 Autism is more often diagnosed in boys They highlighted tinygenetic2changes that appear to have a strong impact on thelikelihood(可能性...
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...

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
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...
“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...
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent a group of developmental disabilities with a strong genetic basis. The laboratory mouse is increasingly used as a model organism for ASD, and MGI, the Mouse Genome Informatics resource, is the primary model organism database for the laboratory mouse. MGI ...
