4. Johns Hopkins Researchers Create New Mouse Model Of Autism In an effort to unravel the tangled biology of autism, Johns Hopkins scientists have created a mouse model that mimics a human mutation of a gene known to be associated with autism spectrum disorders. Experiments with the engineered mouse reveal a molecular mechanism by which mutations of the gene named Shank3 affect the brain and […]...

15. The Autistic Mind: New Studies Show Spectrum Of Gene Variants Different people with autism can have very different symptoms. Health care providers think of autism as a “spectrum” disorder (ASD), a group of disorders with similar features. One person may have mild symptoms, while another may have serious symptoms. But they both have an autism spectrum disorder....
