Abstract excerpt
The Reelin-DAB1 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in regulating neuronal migration and synapse function. Although many rare heterozygous variants in the Reelin gene (RELN) have been identified in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), most variants are still of unknown clinical significance. Also, genetic data suggest that heterozygous variants in RELN alone appear to be insufficient to cause ASD....
