A drug that has shown promise for treating fragile X syndrome may ease features of another condition associated with autism.

Watch the complete replay of this journal club, which featured two papers on mosaic mutations in autism.

Children with autism are genetically more similar to one another than to a group of unaffected siblings.

People who carry risk factors for autism but do not have the condition tend to have slightly fewer children than average, and have them later in life.

A Tampa clinic goes rogue with fecal transplants, autism’s genetic ancestry traces to our deep past, and the U.S. Supreme Court revives the travel ban.

Autism researchers should ditch the false dichotomy between common inherited variants and much rarer random mutations.

Where do we stand in our understanding of autism genetics — and what major questions remain? A molecular biologist supplies answers in stanzas.

How to best use a large volume of data to discover new genetic risk factors for autism is a matter of intense debate, particularly in light of historical challenges.

Autism researchers’ top priority should be shifting their focus to finding treatments for severe forms of the condition.

Families need more support from researchers in order for their heroic efforts to be optimally effective.
