The Autism Sequencing Consortium: Large-Scale, High-Throughput Sequencing in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Research during the past decade has seen significant progress in the understanding of the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), with gene discovery accelerating as the characterization of genomic variation has become increasingly comprehensive. At the same time, this research has highlighted ongoing challenges. Here we address the enormous impact of high-throughput sequencin...
متن کاملEpigenome Sequencing Comes of Age
Epigenetic states are responsive to developmental and environmental signals, and as a consequence a eukaryotic cell can have many different epigenomes. In this issue of Cell, Lister et al. (2008) present the floral epigenome of Arabidopsis using next-generation sequencing technology to analyze both DNA methylation at single-base resolution and the expression of small RNAs.
متن کاملParental age and autism spectrum disorders.
PURPOSE We sought to study the possible association between parental age and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using both a cohort design and a sibling design. METHODS Our cohort included all singleton births in Denmark from January 1, 1980, through December 31, 2003, a total of 1,311,736 children. Cases of ASDs were obtained from the Danish National Psychiatric Register using International C...
متن کاملEconomic burden of autism spectrum disorders in Iran
Background: The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a child neurodevelopmental disorder has increased significantly during the past 3 decades worldwide and in Iran. This chronic disease does not cause premature death and there is no definitive treatment. Thus, the cost of ASD is extremely heavy and overwhelming. The purpose of this study is to calculate the economic burden of ASD in...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorders: the Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 Protein
The pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) likely involves genetic and environmental factors, impacting the complex neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities of the disorder. Scientific researches emerging within the past two decades suggest that immune dysfunction and inflammation have pathogenic influences through different mechanisms, all leading to both a chronic state of low ...
