Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorders: heterogeneous genetic etiologies. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental diseases affecting around 1% of the general population. Symptoms appear early in the development, usually before 3 years of life. Clinical features are extremely heterogeneous as genetic etiologies that underlie ASD. Genetic findings are present in 25% of ASD patients especially in specific cellular pathways as neurodevelopment or synapse architecture. ASD appears to be the combination of several de novo or/and inherited deleterious genetic variants. Here we propose to discuss genetic findings in these disorders and see how genetic research is able to give new treatment for ASD.

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...
