📣 New paper alert!

In new work led by @MossaAdele out now in @NatureComms, we find that the autism risk gene #DDX3X is a critical regulator of sexual dimorphisms in neuronal neurodevelopment 🧬 🧠

Ieri ad #ASCO2026 ho visto una sala piena di oncologi, ricercatori e operatori sanitari alzarsi in piedi per applaudire uno studio clinico sul tumore del pancreas.
Per chi non lavora in oncologia può sembrare una cosa normale.
Per chi, come me, ha passato anni a studiare i tumori guidati da KRAS, è stato un momento che difficilmente dimenticherò.

We’re excited to welcome Natalie Spence as a new PhD student in the lab!

Natalie graduated in Neuroscience and psychology from @michiganstateu and joins us after a research experience in the Greer lab at @Yale.

Welcome, Natalie!

Today is Autism Awareness Day. Mount Sinai researchers are advancing our understanding of autism. A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, published in Nature Medicine, finds that autism risk genes are largely shared across people of different ancestries—supporting a universal genetic architecture of the condition.

Drawing on one of the largest genomic analyses to date, this new research underscores the importance of expanding genetic studies beyond predominantly European cohorts. The findings may help improve the accuracy of genetic diagnosis and inform more precise approaches to care for individuals with autism.

Excited to see the first paper of the Genomics of #Autism in Latin American Ancestries (GALA) finally out in @NatureMedicine!

Big congrats to Marina Natividad Avila & Joe Buxbaum! https://t.co/uwFHfA0fSH

[Stefano Berto, PhD @StefanoBerto83]

La genetica è un fattore importante per l'autismo.

Questo studio dimostra che i geni che influenzano il rischio di ASD sono in gran parte gli stessi nelle diverse popolazioni globali, rafforzando l'ipotesi secondo cui i fattori genetici siano condivisi.

🆕Research Reveals Autism Genes Are Shared Across Ancestries
Results align with growing evidence that rare & common genetic 🧬 risk factors for complex disorders are shared across populations, reinforcing the universal biological foundations of autism. https://t.co/7M7jUqCjcn
