Scientists from Israel have approached the determination of the exact factors genetics that underlie autism.
The staff of the University of Ben-Gurion’s hope that their study will be able to make progress in the development of autism.
Experts analyzed six thousand genetic sequences associated with autism. They found previously unknown features of these genes, allowing a better understanding of the biological factors that are associated with the disease. According to the authors of scientific work, they had identified a unique genomic structure, which is formed in the end of negative selection, which blurs the mutation properties of the genetic order, eliminating their synthesis.
The information obtained will enable specialists to investigate other genes that influence the onset of autism. According to scientists, this will lead to improved diagnosis of this disease.
