Ciliary biology intersects autism and congenital heart disease

Nia Teerikorpi, Kate E. McCluskey, Ethel Bader, Micaela C. Lasser, Sheng Wang, Catherine H. Nguyen, James D. Schmidt, Elina Kostyanovskaya, Nawei Sun, Jeanselle Dea, Tomasz Jan Nowakowski, Arthur Jeremy Willsey, Helen Rankin Willsey

The paper identifies CHD genes that disrupt NPC biology and are enriched for ciliary biology, linking cilia dysfunction to ASD and CHD comorbidity.

Convergence of autism proteins at the cilium

Elina Kostyanovskaya, Micaela C. Lasser, Belinda Wang, James Schmidt, Ethel Bader, Chad Buteo, Juan Arbelaez, Aria Rani Sindledecker, Kate E. McCluskey, Octavio Castillo, Sheng Wang, Jeanselle Dea, Kathryn A. Helde, J. Michael Graglia, Elise Brimble, , Helen Rankin Willsey

The paper shows autism genes converge at cilia, linking them to ciliary dysfunction and co-occurring conditions.

A foundational atlas of autism protein interactions reveals molecular convergence

Belinda Wang, Rasika S. Vartak, Yefim Zaltsman, Zun Zar Chi Naing, Kelsey M. Hennick, Benjamin J. Polacco, Ali Bashir, Manon Eckhardt, Mehdi Bouhaddou, Jiewei Xu, Nawei Sun, Micaela C. Lasser, Yuan M. Zhou, Justin McKetney, Keelan Z. Guiley, , Nevan J. Krogan

The paper constructs a PPI network of 100 high-confidence ASD genes, identifies novel interactions, and uses AlphaFold-Multimer to prioritize variants for functional validation in organoids.

Pleiotropy of autism-associated chromatin regulators

Micaela C. Lasser, Nawei Sun, Yuxiao Xu, Sheng Wang, Sam Drake, Karen Law, Silvano Gonzalez, Belinda Wang, Vanessa Drury, Octavio Castillo, Yefim Zaltsman, Jeanselle Dea, Ethel Bader, Kate E. McCluskey, Matthew W. State, , Helen Rankin Willsey

The paper investigates the role of chromatin regulators in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by examining their involvement in microtubule biology and cellular proliferation, finding that ASD risk genes affect these processes and are enriched among microtubule-associated proteins.
