Autism linked to inflammatory bowel disease in parents
The inflammation associated with the disease, particularly in mothers, may contribute to autism traits in children.

Even the best data practices and technology drop key variants in attempts to predict autism likelihood.
Scientists have at last filled in the missing gaps — an advance likely to inform every aspect of autism genetics research, Eichler says.
The X chromosome holds stronger-than-expected genetic sway over the structure of several brain regions. The genes that may underlie this oversized influence have ties to autism.
Spontaneous mutations in parts of the genome that regulate gene EBF3 appear to contribute to autism risk.
The more scientists dig into DNA, the more intricate its contribution to autism seems to be. Here, we unravel the complex genetics of autism.
Mutations that disrupt binding sites in RNA molecules may play a role in autism and a variety of psychiatric conditions, according to a new study.
Genetic variants that contribute to autism may also be involved in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Tourette syndrome, according to a new study.
Jacob Vorstman wants to help people who have rare mutations tied to autism, schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental conditions set expectations about outcomes.
Researchers expand a massive repository of data on gene activity in people to show differences between males and females.
