          Innovative Gene Screening in Human Tissue May Unlock Autism’s Secrets

          Researchers pioneered a groundbreaking method called "CHOOSE" to investigate genes tied to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within human tissue. This technique allows for simultaneous examination of key transcriptional regulator genes linked to autism in a single organoid. Utilizing CHOOSE, the team pinpointed mutations in 36 genes known to heighten autism risk, shedding light on how they influence brain development.
