Structural alterations of the social brain: a comparison between schizophrenia and autism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia share a substantial number of etiologic and phenotypic characteristics. Still, no direct comparison of both disorders has been performed to identify differences and commonalities in brain structure.

Whole genome sequencing resource identifies 18 new candidate genes for autism spectrum disorder

Nature Neuroscience, 2017
We are performing whole-genome sequencing of families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to build a resource (MSSNG) for subcategorizing the phenotypes and underlying genetic factors involved.

Urbanicity and Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
The etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is for the majority of cases unknown and more studies of risk factors are needed. Geographic variation in ASD occurrence has been observed, and urban residence has been suggested to serve as a proxy for etiologic and identification factors in ASD.

An Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Heterogeneity and Treatment Options

Neuroscience Bulletin, 2017
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 as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Neuroinflammation in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
The neurobiological basis for autism remains poorly understood. However, research suggests that environmentalfactors and neuroinflammation, as well as genetic factors, are contributors. This study aims to test the role that might be played by heat shock protein (HSP)70, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2, Caspase 7 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)in the ...

Autism spectrum disorder

Medicine, 2004
Abstract Autism spectrum disorder appears to affect about 60 children/10,000 under the age of 8 years. Recent studies show that a valid clinical diagnosis can be made at 2–3 years. The UK National Autism Plan for Children provides guidelines for best practice in screening, investigation, early diagnosis and intervention in pre-school and primary ...

Genetic Causes and Modifiers of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting an estimated 1 in 59 children. ASD is highly genetically heterogeneous and may be caused by both inheritable and de novo gene variations.
