Autism Spectrum Disorders

Information about Autism Spectrum Disorders: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Most recent studies have shown that Autism Spectrum Disorders shares some biological mechanisms with anxiety-disorders, asperger-syndrome, attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder, autistic-disorder, child-behavior-disorders, child-development-disorders-pervasive, cognition-disorders, depressive-disorder, developmental-disabilities, epilepsy, impairment-(finding), language-development-disorders, language-disorders, malnutrition, mental-disorders, pervasive-development-disorder, schizophrenia, stereotyped-behavior.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Autism Spectrum Disorders, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Brain Development, Cell Adhesion, Cognition, Hypersensitivity, Immune Response, Methylation, Neurogenesis, Pathogenesis, Prepulse Inhibition, Secretion, Sensory Processing, Short-term Memory, Social Behavior, Synaptic Transmission, System Development, Translation, Transport, Visual Perception

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Autism Spectrum Disorders, such as AKR1C2, ARSD, ATP2A2, BDNF, CNTNAP2, FANCA, FMR1, GNAI1, IL6, MECP2, MTOR, NLGN3, NLGN4X, NRXN1, OXTR, PTEN, SHANK3, SLC6A4. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
