Early developmental deficits in the formation of the brain's blood vessels cause autistic traits in mouse models of ASD.
Researchers have uncovered genetic interactions that modulate variable symptoms associated with ASD.
Researchers have identified a direct link between deletion in two genes and specific brain and body traits. Both genes are in the 16p11.2 area of chromosome 16. Deletions in this region are associated with ASD and other developmental disorders.
Researchers have performed an MRI study of people with a common form of genetic autism. They discovered those with abnormalities on 16p11.2 had structural abnormalities with the corpus callosum and white matter volume.
Researchers discover a missing copy of a region in chromosome 16 results in a 25 point IQ drop in carriers.
Researchers discover that genetic mutations linked to Autism in children are connected to the RhoA pathway.
Biologists take a new approach to deciphering the roles of genes associated with autism. Fish cannot display symptoms of autism,...
