AUTISTA SPECTRUM DISORDER: SEQUENCING AND CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION

Abstract

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by commitment to social interaction and communication, associated with restricted interests and stereotyped behaviors. The genetic evidence of neurodevelopmental disorders is widely supported in the medical literature. The most recent protocols in the biomedical section of the genetic study of these disorders place the chromosomal microarrays and the exome sequencing as firstline analysis. As a result of the present review, the main sequencing methods used in the investigation and diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder were identified, as were differential genetic expressions.
