Commentary: Potential Neurobiologic Mechanisms through Which Metabolic Disorders Could Relate to Autism.
Johnston, Michael V.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v30 n5 p471-73 Oct 2000
To illustrate the possible relationships between metabolic disorders and autism, this commentary reviews findings from studies on the characteristics of individuals with Rett syndrome that indicate the genetic mechanism of transcriptional dysregulation can produce pathologic phenotypes which resemble metabolic disorders that stunt axonodendritic development.
