TLDR
It is shown that the study of syndromic autism provides insight into the phenotypic and molecular heterogeneity of neurodevelopmental disease and suggests how study of these disorders can be helpful in understanding disease mechanisms implicated in nonsyndromic Autism.

Molecular Dysregulation in Autism Spectrum Disorder

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the contribution of current innovative molecular strategies to understand etiology of ASD, which are focused on whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing(WGS), microRNA, long non-coding RNAs and CRISPR/Cas9 models.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTOR-Dependent Spine Dynamics in Autism

TL;DR: It is shown here that the direction of change in spine density was mostly correlated to the upstream positive or negative regulation of the mTOR pathway and most rodent models of mutant mTOR regulators show increases in immature spines, based on morphological analyses.

Common and Distinct Disruptions of Cortical Surface Morphology Between Autism Spectrum Disorder Children With and Without SHANK3 Deficiency.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors combined genetic tests, neurobehavioral evaluations, and magnetic resonance imaging, aiming to explore the disruptions of both local and networked cortical structural organization in ASD children with and without SHANK3 deficiency.

Etiological heterogeneity in autism spectrum disorders: More than 100 genetic and genomic disorders and still counting

TL;DR: An exhaustive review of the clinical genetics and research genetics literature in an attempt to collate all genes and recurrent genomic imbalances that have been implicated in the etiology of ASD shows that autism is not a single clinical entity but a behavioral manifestation of tens or perhaps hundreds of genetic and genomic disorders.

Synaptic Dysfunction in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Associated with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities

TL;DR: Top-down approaches using human phenotypes and genetics and bottom-up approaches applying molecular, biochemical, and neurophysiological studies to genetic models of these disorders revealed unsuspected pathogenic mechanisms and identified potential therapeutic targets.
