U.C. Davis Study Finds Gene Distinctions in Children with Autism
Researchers at the U.C. Davis M.I.N.D. Institute have found that a group of genes with known links to natural-killer cells (the first to attack viruses, bacteria and malignancies) are expressed at high levels in the blood of children with autism when compared to children without the disorder.
Experts say the outcomes, published in the January issue of Genomics, offer hope that gene expression analyses can provide biological evidence of autism, currently diagnosed only through behavioral assessments, in some children. Read more …
