Genetic Variations Linked To Brain Size

sciencedaily.com

Using advanced brain imaging and genomics technologies, researchers show for the first time that natural variations in a specific gene influence brain structure. By establishing this link, the researchers have opened the door to a range of potential research efforts that could reveal gene variations responsible for a number of neurological conditions such as autism.

Genetic variant and autoantibodies linked to having a child with autism - UC Davis Health System Newsroom

ucdmc.ucdavis.edu — “A study by researchers at UC Davis has found that pregnant women with a particular gene variation are more likely to produce autoantibodies to the brains of their developing fetuses and that the children of these mothers are at greater risk of later being diagnosed with autism.View full resource at ucdmc.ucdavis.edu

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have found that a protein variation linked by some genetic studies to Alzheimer's disease is consistently present in the actual brains of people with Alzheimer's. In further biochemical and cell culture investigations, they have shown that this protein, known as ubiquilin-1, performs a critical Alzheimer's-related function: it "chaperones" the formation of amyloid precursor protein, a molecule whose malformation has been directly tied to Alzheimer's pathology.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
