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.

Convergence of genes and cellular pathways dysregulated in autism spectrum disorders

Dalila Pinto, +111 more
TL;DR: Genes affected by de novo CNVs and/or loss-of-function single-nucleotide variants converged on networks related to neuronal signaling and development, synapse function, and chromatin regulation and were overrepresented among subjects with fragile X syndrome protein targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the role of long noncoding rnas (lncrnas) in autism spectrum disorders

TL;DR: This work has identified many DE lncRNA/TUCP transcripts in a cohort of 40 ASD and controls from two different brain regions as a key step towards understanding the role of lncRNAs in ASD etiology.
