The code may help scientists identify people with the autism-linked condition and recruit them into clinical trials.
The more scientists dig into DNA, the more intricate its contribution to autism seems to be. Here, we unravel the complex genetics of autism.
An experimental drug silences a DNA segment and seems to prevent seizures and death in a condition related to autism.
Genes involved in the formation of myelin, a fatty substance that sheathes neurons, are altered in autistic people and in several mouse models.
Associated primarily with its role in movement, the striatum may also influence the social difficulties of autistic people.
