Large-Scale Exome Sequencing Study Implicates Both Developmental and Functional Changes in the Neurobiology of Autism

F. Kyle Satterstrom, +201 more
- 06 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: The largest exome sequencing study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to date, using an enhanced analytical framework to integrate de novo and case-control rare variation, identifies 102 risk genes at a false discovery rate of 0.1 or less, consistent with multiple paths to an excitatory-inhibitory imbalance underlying ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer risks from arsenic in drinking water.

TL;DR: The evidence assessed here indicates that arsenic can also cause liver, lung, kidney, and bladder cancer and that the population cancer risks due to arsenic in U.S. water supplies may be comparable to those from environmental tobacco smoke and radon in homes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Stress and Preterm Birth

TL;DR: The prospective collection of multiple psychosocial measures on a large population of women indicates that a subset of these factors is associated with preterm birth, including life events, social support, depression, pregnancy-related anxiety, perceived discrimination, and neighborhood safety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated plasma cytokines in autism spectrum disorders provide evidence of immune dysfunction and are associated with impaired behavioral outcome.

TL;DR: Evidence of differential cytokine release in plasma samples obtained from 2 to 5 year-old children with ASD compared with age-matched typically developing children and children with developmental disabilities other than autism (DD) is investigated and significantly shifted cytokine profiles are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Metabolic Conditions and Risk for Autism and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders

TL;DR: Maternal MCs may be broadly associated with neurodevelopmental problems in children, and with obesity rising steadily, these results appear to raise serious public health concerns.
