One study, “Integrating de novo and inherited variants in 42,607 autism cases identifies mutations in new moderate effect genes,” was published in Nature Genetics today, on August 18 ...
This growing understanding of these specific, related genetic disorders, Santarelli adds, provides a pathway to think about possible extrapolations to the more sporadic types of autism.
A new study reveals how genetic deficits, particularly in the Tbx1 gene, are linked to reduced brain volume and altered social behavior, findings relevant to autism and schizophrenia.
Variants in Tbx1 are strongly associated with a range of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, intellectual disability and developmental ...
In children with autism, it seems to go overboard, and this can be measured with a simple eye-tracking device. The discovery could help to advance research on autism, which affects one out of ...
