Analyses of gene activity may yield clues to roots of autism
Network analyses of gene expression patterns may point to key molecular pathways that autism alters and suggest new ways of treating the condition.

A comprehensive catalog of the genes that show ties to both autism and cancer highlights the role of cell growth in both conditions.
DNA from autism brains shows elevated levels of a certain type of chemical tag that influences gene expression compared with DNA from controls.
Researchers are studying more than 1,000 postmortem brains with the goal of unearthing shared genetic roots in neuropsychiatric conditions, including autism.
A chemical tag on DNA that has risen to prominence only in the past few years is altered in people with autism, suggest results from an autism mouse model.
A new technique creates a detailed picture of of chromatin — the coiled complex of DNA and proteins — in individual brain cells.
The environment’s influence on gene expression can vary by sex and affect autism’s expression.
The pups of male mice exposed to stress show a muted response to stressful situations of their own, suggesting that environmental effects can last generations.
A new method lets researchers spy on cells as they gain and lose chemical tags on their DNA.
Alterations to chromosome 7 lead to changes in the chemical marks that direct gene expression.
