This genetic pathway could be one cause of autism

Assist Prof Sznajder was curious about why there appeared to be such a high crossover between people suffering from myotonic dystrophy and autism, causing him to delve into the genetics of the two conditions. — TNS

A study done in the United States has discovered a new molecular path that leads to autism, potentially opening the way for more intervention in the future.

The study led by University of Nevada, Las Vegas, (UNLV) chemistry and biochemistry assistant professor Dr Łukasz Sznajder was published on April 21 (2025) in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
