Congrats @ShengWangD on your recently published work, which establishes a clear contribution of rare variants on Chromosome X to male-biased psychiatric disorders and identifies a new X-linked high confidence autism gene, MAGEC3.

New UCSF-led research reveals the complex interplay of #genetic factors contributing to male-biased prevalence in #autism spectrum disorder, #Tourette syndrome, and #ADHD, paving the way for future advancements in #neurodevelopmental disorder research.

And as always, this work would not have been possible without all of the patients and their families that so generously participated in this research #Autism #tourette #ADHD

Very excited to present our recent preprint! This was a massive effort over the past three years that investigates the complex biology of high-confidence ASD (hcASD) genes during early timestamps of neurogenesis using single-cell CRISPRi.

Jeremy Willsey, PhD, highlights the potential of targeting interacting proteins, opening doors to treatments benefiting larger groups of autism spectrum disorders patients. A step towards more effective clinical trials.

Recent studies, by @goodfrognosis, A. Jeremy Willsey, @belinda_p_wang & Matthew W. State, have gained insights on compounding genetic risks for autism spectrum disorder and are closer to developing therapeutical interventions. @WillseyLab

Studies have identified a growing list of associated risk factors for autism, and—with the use of gene editing tools, multidimensional omics datasets, and higher-throughput model systems—possible therapies. @goodfrognosis @belinda_p_wang @WillseyLab
