A role for gene-environment interactions in Autism Spectrum Disorder is suggested by variants in genes regulating exposure to environmental factors

João Xavier Santos, Célia Rasga, Ana Rita Marques, Hugo Martiniano, Muhammad Asif, Joana Estela Rezende Vilela, Guiomar Oliveira, Astrid Moura Vicente

This study identifies genes involved in detoxification and barrier permeability with variants linked to ASD and discovers gene-environment interactions relevant to the disorder.
