科研人员首次发现导致自闭症的突变基因——CHD8,开启了自闭症基因治疗新时代,有望在自闭症的诊断、类型确定、个性化治疗等方面带来突破。CDH8基因突变的人群患自闭症的可能性非常大,常带有头部大、眼距宽以及胃肠道功能紊乱的特征。研究发现,6 176名患自闭症谱系障碍的儿童中,有15名患者CHD8基因 Researchers discovered for the first time that the mutation gene CHD8, which causes autism, opened a new era of gene therapy for autism and is expected to bring about breakthroughs in the diagnosis, type identification and personalized treatment of autism. People with mutations in the CDH8 gene are at high risk for developing autism, often characterized by large heads, wide eyes and gastrointestinal disturbances. The study found that of 6,176 children with autism spectrum disorders, 15 had CHD8
