Molecular basis of autism spectrum disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Autism is a prevalent neurological disorder that affects the development of children worldwide. With the advent of genome wide association studies and whole exome sequencing methods, associated genes and molecular pathways that lead to the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have garnered recent attention. However, the etiology of ASD is still rudimentary and poorly understood. Thus, understanding the...
