The potential mechanisms conferring this risk are poorly understood. Here, we show that the personality traits schizotypy and neuroticism correlated with paternal age in healthy subjects (N = 677). Paternal age was further positively associated with gray matter volume (VBM, N = 342) in the right prefrontal and the right medial temporal cortex. The integrity of fiber tracts (DTI, N = 222) connecting these two areas correlated positively with paternal age. Genome-wide methylation analysis in humans showed differential methylation in APA individuals, linking APA to epigenetic mechanisms. A corresponding phenotype was obtained in our rat model. APA rats displayed social-communication deficits and emitted fewer pro-social ultrasonic vocalizations compared to controls. They further showed repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, together with higher anxiety during early development. At the neurobiological level, microRNAs miR-132 and miR-134 were both differentially regulated in rats and humans depending on APA. This study demonstrates associations between APA and social behaviors across species. They might be driven by changes in the expression of microRNAs and/or epigenetic changes regulating neuronal plasticity, leading to brain morphological changes and fronto-hippocampal connectivity, a network which has been implicated in social interaction.

Psychophysiological Correlates of Developmental Changes in Healthy and Autistic Boys / Benjamin WEISMÜLLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-7 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-7 (July 2015) . - p.2168-2175 Titre : Psychophysiological Correlates of Developmental Changes in Healthy and Autistic Boys Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Benjamin WEISMÜLLER, Auteur ; Renate THIENEL, Auteur ; Anne-Marie YOULDEN, Auteur ; Ross FULHAM, Auteur ; Michael KOCH, Auteur ; Ulrich SCHALL, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.2168-2175 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mismatch negativity  Autism  Brain maturation  Executive function  Theory of mind Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated neurodevelopmental changes in sound processing by recording mismatch negativity (MMN) in response to various degrees of sound complexity in 18 mildly to moderately autistic versus 15 healthy boys aged between 6 and 15 years. Autistic boys presented with lower IQ and poor performance on a range of executive and social function measures when compared to their healthy counterparts. We found that MMN in response to duration deviants was less lateralized in the clinical group whereas larger amplitudes correlated with advanced age, thus capturing neurodevelopmental changes. Larger MMN in response to speech-like sound deviants was associated with better verbal fluency and executive function performance, respectively, but did not reliably discriminate the two groups.
