The overwhelming majority of these alterations are either sequencing variants or large copy number variations (CNVs). In this pilot study, we tested whether the use of a customized array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), targeting exons of 269 ASD candidate genes, would allow the identification of small potentially pathogenic CNVs (<100 Kb). We detected 10 rare, potentially pathogenic CNVs in nine out of 98 patients with idiopathic ASD, and none of 200 Brazilian controls. Two out of five CNVs identified among the non-syndromic cases, involving the genes MBD2 and SLC17A6, were smaller than 100 Kb. In a subsequent screening of other 407 patients and 350 non-affected controls for CNVs involving SLC17A6, a gene without previous documentation in the literature of involvement with neurodevelopmental disorders, we found intragenic duplications in another proband but also in five controls. Of note, a commercial 500 K SNP-array did not detect the smallest gains in SLC17A6. Our results suggest that small CNVs contribute to the etiology of ASD and that customized CGH array has significant potential to improve the sensitivity for detecting this class of alterations.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Dental Plaque Control Program in Autistic Patients / Guilherme G. DIAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-6 (June 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 40-6 (June 2010) . - p.704-708 Titre : Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Dental Plaque Control Program in Autistic Patients Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Guilherme G. DIAS, Auteur ; Eliane F.G.B. PRADO, Auteur ; Estevão VADASZ, Auteur ; José Tadeu T. SIQUEIRA, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.704-708 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism OHI-S Oral-hygiene Oral health Dental-plaque Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to verify the efficacy of a programme for dental plaque control in autistics. Patients were evaluated on five occasions over a period of 180 days using the following instruments: OHI-S, DMF-T, the Fonnes brushing technique and diet questionnaire. Participants were divided into two groups according to level of co-operation on the programme: Group A (co-operative) and Group B (non-cooperative). A statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) in Oral Hygiene was attained, with 84.2% showing regular or satisfactory hygiene at study end-point. Conclusion: Groups A and B both showed improvement in hygiene (p < 0.001 and p = 0.004), but improvement was significantly higher among co-operative patients (p < 0.001 at 180 days), who also had a higher mean age (p = 0.02).

Stem Cells as a Good Tool to Investigate Dysregulated Biological Systems in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Karina GRIESI-OLIVEIRA in Autism Research, 6-5 (October 2013)

In this scenario, the search for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ASD patients and controls is a good alternative to identify the molecular etiology of such disorders. Here, we employed genome-wide expression analysis to compare the transcriptome of stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) of idiopathic autistic patients (n?=?7) and control samples (n?=?6). Nearly half of the 683 identified DEGs are expressed in the brain (P?=?0.003), and a significant number of them are involved in mechanisms previously associated with ASD such as protein synthesis, cytoskeleton regulation, cellular adhesion and alternative splicing, which validate the use of SHEDs to disentangle the causes of autism. Autistic patients also presented overexpression of genes regulated by androgen receptor (AR), and AR itself, which in turn interacts with CHD8 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8), a gene recently shown to be associated with the cause of autism and found to be upregulated in some patients tested here. These data provide a rationale for the mechanisms through which CHD8 leads to these diseases. In summary, our results suggest that ASD share deregulated pathways and revealed that SHEDs represent an alternative cell source to be used in the understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in the etiology of ASD.
