Brain region-specific altered expression and association of mitochondria-related genes in autism
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) has been observed in approximately five percent of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). MtD could impair highly energy-dependent processes such as neurodevelopment, thereby contributing to autism. Most of the previous studies of MtD in autism have been restricted to the biomarkers of energy metabolism, while most of the genetic studies have been based on...
