...Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE), assembled to help researchers untangle the complex genetics of autism. Now that effort is beginning to pay off. The largest genetic study of autism ever attempted - involving more than 3,000 participants from AGRE, 1,453 cases from other sources and over 7,000 additional control subjects - identified genetic variations in a region of chromosome 5 that appears to play a pivotal role in about 15% of cases of autism. What makes this region particularly fascinating is that it seems to regulate gene-coding for proteins that are essential to forming connections in the brain. This...
