19417610547_225698.gifThe largest search for autism genes to date, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has implicated components of the brain's glutamate chemical messenger system and a previously overlooked site on chromosome 11. Based on 1,168 families with at least two affected members, the genome scan adds to evidence that tiny, rare variations in genes may heighten risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD)*.

thumb_holoprosencephalyScientists from Cleveland, Ohio, and Paris, France, reached an important milestone in understanding a molecular cause of a rare, but serious birth defect, Holoprosencephaly. In this February's FASEB Journal, researchers explain why and how some fetal brains fail to develop two lobes, as well as why and how the related skull and facial defects occur. Information from this study will enable researchers to pursue better approaches toward detecting, preventing, and treating this serious disorder.Source: Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
