🧬 Autism and Genetics: Why SHANK3 and CHD8 Are Among the Most Studied Genes

Por

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that involves multiple genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, genetics has become one of the most promising areas for understanding the biological basis of autism. Among the hundreds of genes associated with ASD, two stand out as the most extensively studied: SHANK3 and CHD8. 🔹 … Ler mais

🧬 English – Genetic Mapping of Autism: What Science Has Achieved

Por

Genetic Mapping of Autism: Where We Stand Over the past two decades, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS), whole‑exome and whole‑genome sequencing have identified hundreds of genes and structural variants associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Current literature estimates that 350–1,000 genes contribute to autism susceptibility. A landmark study analyzing over 150,000 participants (including ~20,000 with … Ler mais
