Therefore, autistic-like behavior seems to be related with elevation of NMDAR1 and Nox2-gp91<sup>phox</sup> protein levels that enhance the effect of glutamatergic projection on CPu regions.
Here, using oligoarray-based comparative genomic hybridization, we identified a de novo deletion at 2q37.2 locus spanning 1 Mb and encompassing AGAP1 and SH3BP4, in a boy with autism and intellectual disability.
Therefore, this family-based association study was performed in 640 Chinese Han autism trios to investigate the association between autism and 7 SNPs with genome-wide significance in previous GWAS (rs4307059 near MSNP1AS, rs4141463 in MACROD2, rs2535629 in ITIH3, rs11191454 in AS3MT, rs1625579 in MIR137HG, rs11191580 in NT5C2, and rs1409313 in CUEDC2).
These findings tie for the first time a reduction in presynaptic glutamatergic synapses with the autism/Alzheimer's/schizophrenia-linked ADNP deficiency coupled with amelioration by NAP (CP201).

We analyzed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 107 typically developing (TD) females, 114 TD males, 104 females, and 115 males with ASD (6-26 years) from the autism brain imaging data exchange repository.
The Stat3 inhibitor, S3I-201, downregulates lymphocyte activation markers, chemokine receptors, and inflammatory cytokines in the BTBR T<sup>+</sup> Itpr3<sup>tf</sup>/J mouse model of autism.

The molecular changes reported here may help to explain the cognitive and behavioral signs of autism and reinforce BDNF as a potential molecular target for this neurodevelopmental disorder.
Overall, we found that RASL-seq can be used to accelerate the pace at which chemicals and mixtures that transcriptionally mimic autism and other neuropsychiatric diseases can be identified, and provides a cost-effective way to quantify gene expression with a panel of marker genes.
The <i>SYTL4</i> gene also directly interacts with three known autism genes: <i>STX1A</i>, <i>SNAP25</i> and <i>STXBP1.</i> Through a literature-based analytical approach, we identified three of five (60%) autism-associated serum microRNAs (miRs) with high predictive power among the total of 298 mouse Sytl4 associated/predicted microRNA interactions.
The comparison of coexpressed networks of SOX3/SRY target genes between male autism and control samples revealed low preservation in gene modules related to stress response (99 genes) and neurogenesis (78 genes).
Local network measures significantly correlated with autism severity in ASD children and with BAP traits in fath-ASD, while no significant association emerged when considering the global measures of brain connectivity.
Since the publication of the article, the authors noticed that 'NFI cohort' and 'NFI-free cohort' columns in the 'Autism<sup>g'</sup> and the 'Autism/ADHD' rows had been erroneously interchanged in Table 3.
