Autism spectrum disorders and brain volume link through a set of mTOR-related genes

2022-05-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Larger than average head and brain sizes are often observed in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). ASDs and brain volume are both highly heritable, with multiple genetic variants contributing. However, it is unclear whether ASDs and brain volume share any genetic mechanisms. Genes from the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway influence brain volume, and variants are found...
