More than a hundred genes have been identified that, when disrupted, impart large risk for
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Current knowledge about the encoded proteins—although …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental diseases. The cause
of ASD is unknown, but several genetic and non-genetic risk factors have been …

Since the documented observations of Kanner in 1943, there has been great debate about
the diagnoses, the sub-types, and the diagnostic threshold that relates to what is now known …

Several large-scale genomic studies have supported an association between cases of
autism spectrum disorder and mutations in the genes SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat …

Progress in understanding the genetic etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has
fueled remarkable advances in our understanding of its potential neurobiological …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and related neurological disorders are associated with
mutations in many genes affecting the ratio between neuronal excitation and inhibition …

Genetics studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have identified several risk genes that
are key regulators of synaptic plasticity. Indeed, many of the risk genes that have been …

To further our understanding of the genetic etiology of autism, we generated and analyzed
genome sequence data from 516 idiopathic autism families (2,064 individuals). This …

Early prenatal inflammatory conditions are thought to be a risk factor for different
neurodevelopmental disorders. Maternal interleukin-6 (IL-6) elevation during pregnancy …
