Rapid, genetically tailored N-of-1 neurotherapeutics: a case study in Batten disease
NIH Neuroscience Series Seminar
Dr. Yu ’ s laboratory leads genome-wide searches for rare single-gene causes of autism to reveal ASD ’ s underlying genomic architecture, to understand its neurobiological causes, and to illuminate possible treatments. For instance, they are studying whole exome sequencing data from a large cohort of patients recruited via the Autism Sequencing Consortium, and have uncovered a striking enrichment of gene knockouts, especially in girls, and several dozen novel candidate genes, including several of special neurobiological interest responsible for glutamatergic and serotonergic signaling.
