Russian scientists identify autism-linked mutation
Russian researchers have discovered a new genetic mutation in the PLAU gene associated with the appearance of autism spectrum disorder symptoms. A single genetic base change led to behaviors resembling autism symptoms in mice, such as isolation, anxiety, and repetitive behaviors. Scientists noted that the mutation increased the thickness of the sensory cortex in the brain while enhancing focus ability under stressful conditions, contributing to the development of animal models for studying the disorder and improving future diagnosis and treatments.
