Summaries for Autism

About this section
OMIM : 56 Autism, the prototypic pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), is usually apparent by 3 years of age. It is characterized by a triad of limited or absent verbal communication, a lack of reciprocal social interaction or responsiveness, and restricted, stereotypic, and ritualized patterns of interests and behavior (Bailey et al., 1996; Risch et al., 1999). 'Autism spectrum disorder,' sometimes referred to as ASD, is a broader phenotype encompassing the less severe disorders Asperger syndrome (see ASPG1; 608638) and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). 'Broad autism phenotype' includes individuals with some symptoms of autism, but who do not meet the full criteria for autism or other disorders. Mental retardation coexists in approximately two-thirds of individuals with ASD, except for Asperger syndrome, in which mental retardation is conspicuously absent (Jones et al., 2008). Genetic studies in autism often include family members with these less stringent diagnoses (Schellenberg et al., 2006). Levy et al. (2009) provided a general review of autism and autism spectrum disorder, including epidemiology, characteristics of the disorder, diagnosis, neurobiologic hypotheses for the etiology, genetics, and treatment options. (209850)

MalaCards based summary : Autism, also known as autistic disorder, is related to autism spectrum disorder and pervasive developmental disorder. An important gene associated with Autism is SCN2A (Sodium Voltage-Gated Channel Alpha Subunit 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and Glutamatergic synapse. The drugs Levetiracetam and Memantine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include Umbilical Cord, brain and testes, and related phenotypes are eeg abnormality and increased serum serotonin

Disease Ontology : 12 An autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by symptoms across all three symptom domains (communication, social, restricted repetitive interests and behaviors), delayed language development, and symptom onset prior to age 3 years.

CDC : 3 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them apart from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.

KEGG : 36 Autism, also known as autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), is a common childhood onset neurodevelopmental disorder, characterised by severe deficits in socialisation, communication, and repetitive or unusual behaviour. It is highly genetic and multifactorial, with many risk factors acting together. Several autism loci and genes have been identified. Large-effect rare mutations and small-effect common variants (Autism susceptibility, AUTS) contribute to risk.
