Abstract excerpt
Altered signaling of the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), has been speculated in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have investigated the association of six GABAA-receptor genetic variants and plasma GABA levels with ASD. Subjects were recruited based on the DSM, and CARS2-ST and ADI-R assessed disease severity. Peripheral blood was collected from the ASD probands...
