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. linkedin.com/posts/jeremy-wi…

Rare X-linked variants carry predominantly male risk in autism, Tourette syndrome, and ADHD -...

Proud to announce that Sheng Wang's fantastic work characterizing the contribution of rare X-linked variants to the male-biased neuropsychiatric disorders autism, Tourette syndrome, and ADHD has been...

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. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Autism genes converge on microtubule biology and RNA-binding proteins during excitatory neurogenesis

Recent studies have identified over one hundred high-confidence (hc) autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genes. Systems biological and functional analyses on smaller subsets of these genes have consiste...

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 🧬ucsfpsy.ch/3vANFs8🧬

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 🧬ucsfpsy.ch/3MkLTkq🧬
