Microexons May Explain Most Autism Cases Without Genetic Cause
Original: Microexons May Help Explain the 85% of Autism Cases Without a Clear Genetic Cause
New research suggests microexons, tiny segments of genetic material involved in RNA processing, may play a role in the roughly 85% of autism cases that currently have no identified genetic cause. The finding points to alternative splicing as a factor in neurodevelopment and could open new directions for autism research and diagnostics.
Why now: Fresh research offers a possible explanation for the majority of autism cases that lack a clear genetic cause, a longstanding open question in the field
