Abstract excerpt
The unified idea on the molecular pathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is still unknown although mutations in genes encoding neuroligins and SHANK3 have been shown in a small part of the patients. RA175/SynCAM1/CADM1(CADM1), a member of immunoglobulin superfamily, is another synaptic cell adhesion molecule. To clarify the idea that impaired synaptogenesis underlies the pathogenesis of ASD, we examined...
