Recurrence rates provide evidence for sex-differential, familial genetic liability for autism spectrum disorders in multiplex families and twins.

Molecular autism

Werling DM, Geschwind DH.
PMID: 25973164
Mol Autism. 2015 May 13;6:27. doi: 10.1186/s13229-015-0004-5. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are more prevalent in males, suggesting a multiple threshold liability model in which females are, on average, protected by sex-differential mechanisms. Under this model, autistic females are predicted to carry a more penetrant risk...

Transcriptome analysis reveals dysregulation of innate immune response genes and neuronal activity-dependent genes in autism.

PMID: 25494366
Nat Commun. 2014 Dec 10;5:5748. doi: 10.1038/ncomms6748.

Recent studies of genomic variation associated with autism have suggested the existence of extreme heterogeneity. Large-scale transcriptomics should complement these results to identify core molecular pathways underlying autism. Here we report results from a large-scale RNA sequencing effort, utilizing...

Replication of linkage at chromosome 20p13 and identification of suggestive sex-differential risk loci for autism spectrum disorder.

Molecular autism

Werling DM, Lowe JK, Luo R, Cantor RM, Geschwind DH.
PMID: 24533643
Mol Autism. 2014 Feb 17;5(1):13. doi: 10.1186/2040-2392-5-13.

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are male-biased and genetically heterogeneous. While sequencing of sporadic cases has identified de novo risk variants, the heritable genetic contribution and mechanisms driving the male bias are less understood. Here, we aimed to identify...

Alteration in basal and depolarization induced transcriptional network in iPSC derived neurons from Timothy syndrome.

PMID: 25360157
Genome Med. 2014 Oct 10;6(10):75. doi: 10.1186/s13073-014-0075-5. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: Common genetic variation and rare mutations in genes encoding calcium channel subunits have pleiotropic effects on risk for multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. To gain further mechanistic insights by extending previous gene expression...

A framework for the investigation of rare genetic disorders in neuropsychiatry.

De novo and inherited rare genetic disorders (RGDs) are a major cause of human morbidity, frequently involving neuropsychiatric symptoms. Recent advances in genomic technologies and data sharing have revolutionized the identification and diagnosis of RGDs, presenting an opportunity to...

Moving from capstones toward cornerstones: successes and challenges in applying systems biology to identify mechanisms of autism spectrum disorders.

Front Genet. 2015 Oct 07;6:301. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2015.00301. eCollection 2015.

The substantial progress in the last few years toward uncovering genetic causes and risk factors for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) has opened new experimental avenues for identifying the underlying neurobiological mechanism of the condition. The bounty of genetic findings...

Systems biology in the central nervous system: a brief perspective on essential recent advancements.

Current opinion in systems biology

Dougherty JD, Yang C, Lake AM.

Curr Opin Syst Biol. 2017 Jun;3:67-76. doi: 10.1016/j.coisb.2017.04.011. Epub 2017 Apr 27.

As recent advances in human genetics have begun to more rapidly identify the individual genes contributing to risk of psychiatric disease, the spotlight now turns to understanding how disruption of these genes alters the brain, and thus behavior. Compared...

Gene hunting in autism spectrum disorder: on the path to precision medicine.

Autism spectrum disorder is typical of the majority of neuropsychiatric syndromes in that it is defined by signs and symptoms, rather than by aetiology. Not surprisingly, the causes of this complex human condition are manifold and include a substantial...

Fmrp targets or not: long, highly brain-expressed genes tend to be implicated in autism and brain disorders.

Molecular autism

Ouwenga RL, Dougherty J.
PMID: 25789151
Mol Autism. 2015 Mar 11;6:16. doi: 10.1186/s13229-015-0008-1. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated a robust statistical overlap between genes whose transcripts are reported as Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (Fmrp)-binding targets and genes implicated in various psychiatric disorders, including autism. However, it is not clear how to...

SFARI Gene 2.0: a community-driven knowledgebase for the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).

Molecular autism

Abrahams BS, Arking DE, Campbell DB, Mefford HC, Morrow EM, Weiss LA, Menashe I, Wadkins T, Banerjee-Basu S, Packer A.

New technologies enabling genome-wide interrogation have led to a large and rapidly growing number of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) candidate genes. Although encouraging, the volume and complexity of these data make it challenging for scientists, particularly non-geneticists, to comprehensively...

Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these pleiotropic effects remain unclear. We performed analyses of 232,964 cases and 494,162 controls from genome-wide studies of anorexia...
