Association of HTR2A (rs6313) gene polymorphism with autism spectrum disorder in Jordanian children: a case-control study

The findings suggest no significant association between the HTR2A rs6313 and ASD susceptibility in the Jordanian population, and emphasize the need for larger, multi-marker studies to account for regional genetic diversity.

Rare VDR variant rs1338135647 and lower vitamin D levels in autism spectrum disorder: An exploratory case-control study in Indonesian children.

Lower vitamin D levels and the rare rs1338135647 variant may independently co-occur with ASD in Indonesian children; however, these hypothesis-generating findings require replication and functional validation in larger independent cohorts.

Identification of EIF4A1 as a candidate molecular indicator of autism spectrum disorder using integrative bioinformatic and biological methods.

This study integrated mRNA expression profiles from five post-mortem brain tissue GEO datasets to identify ASD-associated genes and found that EIF4A1 mRNA expression was significantly elevated in ASD subjects and rescued by treatment with the antipsychotics olanzapine or risperidone.

Multi-Omic Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolites in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Biomarker Identification, Metabolic Genetics Insights, and Network Toxicology

This study provides suggestive evidence that elevated adenine and proline may be potential risk factors for ASD and suggests possible involvement of the mitochondrial–Hippo–microtubule pathway, and proposes benzo[a]pyrene as a candidate environmental toxicant that may perturb CSF metabolism.

Deciphering the Role of LNX2 as a Potential Contributor to Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The biological plausibility of LNX2 as a candidate gene for neurodevelopmental disorders is supported, highlighting its preferential association with neuronal projection-cell networks, synaptic vesicle trafficking pathways, and neuron-specific regulatory programs.
