Feature Selection Based on Genetic Algorithm in the Diagnosis of Autism Disorder by fMRI
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) occurs based on the continuous deficit in a person’s verbal skills, visual, auditory, touch, and social behavior. Over the last two decades, one of the most important approaches in studying brain functions in autistic persons is using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Objectives: It is common to use all brain regions in functional extracti...
متن کاملGenetic aspects of autism spectrum disorders: insights from animal models
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that display a triad of core behavioral deficits including restricted interests, often accompanied by repetitive behavior, deficits in language and communication, and an inability to engage in reciprocal social interactions. ASD is among the most heritable disorders but is not a simple disorder with a singular pathology ...
متن کاملThe beginning of genetic exhibitionism?
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing is gaining popularity. However, the sensitive nature of personal genomic sequencing results might not be fully understood by the general public. In this paper we study the examples of disclosure of this sensitive information on social networks. We found that Twitter users often post their results publicly. We observed that information on ethnic background is m...

characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction, impaired language development, and stereotyped repetitive behaviors. The broader category of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) includes individuals with subsets of these symptoms (Geschwind and Levitt, 2007). The prevalence of autism in the USA has increased since the inception of the diagnosis in the 1980s – to about 1 in every ...
متن کاملGenetic epidemiology and insights into interactive genetic and environmental effects in autism spectrum disorders.
Understanding the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders has proven to be challenging. Using autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a paradigmatic neurodevelopmental disorder, this article reviews the existing literature on the etiological substrates of ASD and explores how genetic epidemiology approaches including gene-environment interactions (G×E) can play a role in identifying factors asso...
