A recent discovery of molecular connections between autism and muscular nutrition, which are the types of neuromuscular disease, can provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorders.
New research of teams between life and medical scientists, Published on April 21st Natural neuroscienceI used myopia as a tool or model to learn more about autism. We used one disorder effectively to better understand other disorders.
UNLV genetic scholars and research director Ukukasz SZNAJDER said, “We have confirmed a new path that can lead to autism.” We found that autism causes autism by interfering with the expression of a number of genes related to autism during the brain development. “
SZNAJDER led the hospital’s hospitals (Sickkids; Toronto), Florida University, Adam Mickeywicz University (Poland) and UNLV’s intercontinental scientific efforts.
Resources are pooled among all parties and integrate dozens of autism -related data sets, human and mouse brain samples, cell lines, genes, and mouse models.
SZNAJDER said, “The mutations we can see in rare neuromuscular disease have actually noticed me.” “This is the way we started to connect. We found molecular links or overlaps. I think this is the key to autism symptoms for children with nutrition.”
Ultimately, the gene DMPK, which controls muscles and brain cells, delivers mutations that cause muscle nutrition. These genes are eventually made of RNA and protein. When a mutated DMPK RNA is created, they act as a sponge and absorb other healthy proteins of muscle blint-similar (MBNL) products to interfere with muscles and brain development.
Rocheelle Hines, an UNLV neuroscientist and co -author, “MBNL protein adjusts the process of spraying to edit other RNAs and keep the instructions or important parts.” There is a characteristic of autism. ”
Repeated behavior, limited interests and social interaction issues are one of the main criteria for autism. SZNAJDER says that about 95%of children with autism have additional symptoms and have accompanying diseases between more than 100 other diseases, including autism and muscular nutrients.
“Do you have any other neurological diseases that help you understand the cause of autism?” SZNAJDER said. “This is only a specific work in the puzzle of autism, and it’s very interesting to see curiosity rewarded.”
