- 1From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are phenotypically heterogeneous, characterized by impairments in the development of communication and social behaviour and the presence of repetitive behaviour and...
- 2From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a self-report questionnaire for quantifying autistic traits. This study tests whether the AQ can differentiate between parents of children with an autism spectrum...
- 3From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is known to have a strong genetic component and is most likely oligogenic. However, the necessary role of environmental factors has been well documented. Prior...
- 4From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The 15q24 microdeletion syndrome has been recently described as a recurrent, submicroscopic genomic imbalance found in individuals with intellectual disability, typical facial appearance, hypotonia, and...
- 5From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground It has been suggested that efforts to identify genetic risk markers of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) would benefit from the analysis of more narrowly defined ASD phenotypes. Previous research indicates...
- 6From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedXenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a retrovirus implicated in prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Press releases have suggested that it could contribute to autism spectrum disorder...
- 7From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedFragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by an expanded CGG repeat (> 200 repeats) in the 5' untranslated portion of the fragile mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1), leading to deficiency or absence of the FMR1 protein (FMRP)....
- 8From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism is a complex disorder characterized by deficits involving communication, social interaction, and repetitive and restrictive patterns of behavior. Twin studies have shown that autism is strongly...
- 9From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The hallmark characteristic of autism is impaired reciprocal social interaction. While children find social interaction stress-reducing, many children with autism may find social interaction...
- 10From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthors: Joseph D Buxbaum (corresponding author) [1]; Simon Baron-Cohen [2] We are delighted to announce the launch of Molecular Autism - a new open-access journal published by BioMed Central. Autism and associated...
- 11From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground SHANK3 is a protein in the core of the postsynaptic density (PSD) and has a critical role in recruiting many key functional elements to the PSD and to the synapse, including components of...
- 12From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorders which are characteristically comprised of impairments in social interaction, communication and restricted...
- 13From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground HOXB1 plays a major role in brainstem morphogenesis and could partly determine the cranial circumference in conjunction with HOXA1. In our sample, HOXA1 alleles significantly influence head growth rates...
- 14From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedMany psychiatric conditions and traits are associated with significant heritability. Genetic risk for psychiatric conditions encompass rare variants, identified due to major effect, as well as common variants, the...
- 15From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism spectrum conditions have been characterised as an extreme presentation of certain male-typical psychological traits. In addition, several studies have established a link between prenatal exposure to...
