Convergence of Genes and Cellular Pathways Dysregulated in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Dalila Pinto, +131 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in affected versus control groups (1.41-fold, p = 1.0 × 10(-5)) and an increase in affected subjects carrying exonic pathogenic CNVs overlapping known loci associated with dominant or X-linked ASD and intellectual disability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychiatric and psychosocial problems in adults with normal-intelligence autism spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: The clinical psychiatric presentation and important outcome measures of a large group of normal-intelligence adult patients with ASDs, characterized by impaired social interaction and non-verbal communication in adulthood as well as in childhood, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autism risk factors: genes, environment, and gene-environment interactions.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the key findings from genetic and epidemiological research, which show that autism is a complex disorder resulting from the combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal melatonin synthesis in autism spectrum disorders

TL;DR: Results indicate that a low melatonin level, caused by a primary deficit in ASMT activity, is a risk factor for autism spectrum disorders and support ASMT as a susceptibility gene for ASD and highlight the crucial role of melatonin in human cognition and behavior.
