Research Abstract |
The final goal of this study is to identify new genes that are associated with autism/developmental disorders. For this purpose, we screened around 8800 genes in Drosophila as the first step and the second step studies in mice picked up 7 candidate genes, possibly, related to human developmental disorders. Our clinical study finally succeeded to figure out ones of these genes, RoboIII/IV are associated with autism.
