    Researchers have identified a noncoding RNA, a genetic message not translated into a protein, that may be involved in autism. The discovery came from examining a region on chromosome 5 that has been previously linked to the disorder. Researchers have used gene expression data to create a map of the layers within the neocortex.

    Noncoding gene linked to autism


    Researchers have identified a noncoding RNA, a genetic message that is not translated into a protein, that may be involved in autism. The discovery, published 4 April in Science Translational Medicine, came from examining a region on chromosome 5 that has been previously linked to the disorder.

    Hundreds of genes involved in autism, sequencing studies say


    The largest set of exome sequencing studies of children with autism and their families to date has identified a handful of genes that may increase risk of the disorder, according to research published in Nature.

    IN BRIEF

    Molecular mechanisms: Autism gene modulates connectivity


    Neurons lacking PTEN, an autism-associated gene also involved in cancer, are hyperconnected to both near and distant brain cells, according to a study published 1 February in The Journal of Neuroscience.

    Clinical research: Gestation period affects autism symptoms


    Both premature and post-term babies develop more severe symptoms of autism than those born close to their due dates, according to a study published 16 March in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

    Cognition and behavior: Corpus callosum smaller in autism


    Children with autism have a smaller corpus callosum, a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain, compared with controls, and this difference persists over two years of development, according to a study published 18 February in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

    Researchers map gene expression in the monkey brain


    Researchers have used gene expression data to create a map of the layers within the neocortex, a brain region involved in sensory perception, motor control and language, of rhesus macaques. The results were published 22 March in Neuron.

    Genetics first
    Launched in September 2010, the Simons Variation in Individuals Project takes a 'genetics first' approach to the study of autism by studying a large group of people with the same genetic event: deletion or duplication of the 16p11.2 chromosomal region.
