October 28, 2020 A quest for Quincy: Gene therapies come of age for some forms of autism — Chop Chop
Berent was uniquely qualified — and determined — to bridge the gap from animals to people for Angelman.

October 28, 2020 Low standards corrode quality of popular autism therapy
Rapid growth and inadequate standards in the ‘applied behavior analysis’ industry may put vulnerable children in the hands of poorly prepared technicians.

October 26, 2020 A quest for Quincy: Gene therapies come of age for some forms of autism — Broad Impact
Unlike most causes of autism, syndromes such as Angelman, Rett and fragile X have a clear therapeutic target — at least in theory. They can all be traced to one dysfunctional gene and either too much or too little of the protein it encodes.

October 26, 2020 Autism, intellectual disability linked to levels of fragile X protein
People with particularly low levels of FMRP, the protein lacking in those with fragile X syndrome, are more likely to also have autism and severe intellectual disability.

October 26, 2020 Parental age plays small role in large mutations tied to autism
Most of the large, spontaneous genetic mutations tied to autism are passed down from fathers. But, unlike with smaller mutations, a parent’s age is unlikely to up the rate at which they occur.

October 23, 2020 A quest for Quincy: Gene therapies come of age for some forms of autism
A gene therapy for Angelman syndrome stands at the forefront of efforts to treat autism-linked conditions that stem from single genes.

October 21, 2020 Brain structure changes in autism, explained
Autistic people have distinct patterns of brain development, which sometimes result in differences in brain structure. Here's what we know about those differences.
