On April 2, 2017, the world will celebrate the ninth annual World Autism Awareness Day. In honor of this occasion,Neuroscience Bulletin has put together a Special Issue of reviews and primary research articles focusing on autism spectrum disorder(ASD). ASD is a heterogeneous developmental neurologic...
It was some kind of open secret I had never been in on. And soon, I was a self-diagnosing autism mommy. And I hated it. Here’s where things really go sideways to me: I believe it when autistic people tell me they’re autistic, even if they’re self-diagnosed. If someone is ...
Evaluation of Serum Vitamin D Level as Risk Factor for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Gopen KK Journal of Neuroscience and Neuropsychology Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social communication and social interactions, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of...
The last several years have marked a turning point in the genetics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to rapidly advancing genomic technologies. As the pool of bona fide risk genes and regions accumulates, several key themes have emerged: these include the important role of rare and de novo...
Autism is a highly heritable complex disorder in which de novo mutation (DNM) variation contributes significantly to risk. Using whole-genome sequencing data from 3,474 families, we investigate another source of large-effect risk variation, ultra-rare variants. We report and replicate a transmission...
autism, and other multi-system diseases [216,217]. Since most respiratory diseases involve inflammation and oxidative reactions, developing more natural products as Nrf2/Keap1 pathway inducers for lung disease treatment is promising. This approach offers a new perspective for future research on natural...

Polygenic scores (PGS) can be used for risk stratification by quantifying individuals’ genetic predisposition to disease, and many potentially clinically useful applications have been proposed. Here, we review the latest potential benefits of PGS in the

Over the past 30 years, there has been a massive increase in the number of human ailments such as Alzheimer's, breast cancer, prostate cancer, autism, declining fertility, and other ailments. Some people say that the cause is actually better diagnosis, while others blame processed foods, GMO...
