| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Autism spectrum disorder is the neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by impaired social interactions, social communication impairments. It seems that a combination of genetic and environmental, factors contribute to the pathogenesis of autism.Most candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to autism are known to play a role in brain development.
We previously found missense mutations, in the gene-encoding CADM1 in patients. In this study, we aimed to make clear the molecular mechanisms of Autism, and focus the Cadm1 gene and do some experiment about the protein-complex included Cadm1 using the mice of Cadm1-KO, Cadm1-KI and Cadm1-GFP-Tg.
As the results, we found that the mutated CADM1 affected the synaptogenesis, the neuronal maturation, the formation of CADM1-molecular complex.
