Ca(V)1.2 calcium channel dysfunction causes a multisystem disorder including arrhythmia and autism.

TL;DR: Functional expression reveals that G406R produces maintained inward Ca(2+) currents by causing nearly complete loss of voltage-dependent channel inactivation, which likely induces intracellular Ca( 2+) overload in multiple cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A linkage and association mapping study using half a million genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in a common set of 1,031 multiplex autism families, implicating SEMA5A as an autism susceptibility gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomical Differences in the Mirror Neuron System and Social Cognition Network in Autism

TL;DR: Local decreases of gray matter are found in the ASD group in areas belonging to the mirror neuron system (MNS), argued to be the basis of empathic behavior and correlated with ASD symptom severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
