- 1From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patients with anorexia may have elevated autistic traits. In this study, we tested test whether patients with anorexia nervosa (anorexia) have an elevated score on a dimensional measure of autistic traits,...
- 2From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) are etiologically heterogeneous, with hundreds of rare, highly penetrant mutations and genomic imbalances involved, each contributing to a very small fraction of cases. In this issue of...
- 3From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Previously, we identified multiple, rare serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) variants in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although in our study the SERT Ala56 variant was over-transmitted to...
- 4From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) are a set of pervasive neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by a wide range of lifelong signs and symptoms. Recent explanatory models of autism propose abnormal...
- 5From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedLohith et al. (Mol Autism 4:15, 2013) recently identified increased metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) expression in the frontal cortex (FC) of subjects with fragile X syndrome. These results are consistent with...
- 6From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWe are fortunate to have invited commentaries from the laboratories of Dr Cathy Lord and Dr Fred Volkmar offering their perspectives on the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 criteria for...
- 7From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Aberrant brain connectivity, especially with long-distance underconnectivity, has been recognized as a candidate pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders. However, a number of diffusion tensor imaging...
- 8From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Joseph D Buxbaum1 and Simon Baron-Cohen2 Editorial We are pleased to announce that Molecular Autism has been accepted by Thomson Reuters for tracking and is due to receive its first official Impact...
- 9From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Beyond the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), associated symptoms of anxiety can cause substantial impairment for individuals affected by ASD and those who care for them. Methods We...
- 10From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Synaesthesia is a neurodevelopmental condition in which a sensation in one modality triggers a perception in a second modality. Autism (shorthand for Autism Spectrum Conditions) is a neurodevelopmental...
- 11From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The 'Reading the Mind in the Eyes' (Eyes) test is an advanced test of theory of mind. It is widely used to assess individual differences in social cognition and emotion recognition across different groups...
- 12From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe heterogeneous clinical presentations of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) poses a significant challenge for sample characterization and limits the interpretability and replicability of research...
- 13From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedNew 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...
- 14From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mutations in MECP2 encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) cause the X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome. Rett syndrome patients exhibit neurological symptoms that include irregular...
- 15From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground 22q13 deletion syndrome, also known as Phelan-McDermid syndrome, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, hypotonia, delayed or absent speech, and autistic features....
- 16From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAutism spectrum disorders affect significantly more males than females. Understanding sex differences in normal human brain development may provide insight into the mechanism(s) underlying this disparity; however,...
- 17From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The objective of this study was to examine differences in episodic memory retrieval between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) individuals. Previous studies have...
- 18From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The objectives of this study were to explore associations between autistic traits and self-reported clinical symptoms in a population with anorexia nervosa (AN). Experimental and self-report evidence...
- 19From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The human oxytocin receptor (hOXTR) is implicated in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Several studies have reported single-nucleotide...
- 20From: Molecular Autism. (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Neurobeachin (NBEA) has been identified as a candidate gene for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in several unrelated patients with alterations in the NBEA gene. The exact function of NBEA, a multidomain...
