Study May Point Way To New Autism Treatments
Reported byDisability Scoop ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at UC San Francisco mapped proteins encoded by 100 autism risk genes and identified more than 1,800 protein interactions (87% previously unknown), finding that different genes often disrupt the same protein complexes—suggesting treatments could target these molecular hubs rather than individual genetic forms.
This is foundational research on molecular mechanisms; clinical trials in humans will be required before any treatments reach patients.
