New Autism Gene Map Reveals Shared Pathways | Texas News
Scientists unveil the largest molecular map of autism ever created, using AI and lab-grown brain tissue to reveal over 250 genes and 1,800 new protein connections linked to the disorder. Instead of targeting individual genes, the breakthrough focuses on shared biological pathways—offering a more efficient route to therapies that could help multiple genetic forms of autism simultaneously. While this map primarily aids the 15–25% of autism cases with known genetic causes, emerging research hints at overlapping links between genetics and immune system dysfunction in non-genetic cases. Though not…
