In a recent article at NeuroScience.com wonders if an ancient virus could be a genetic driver of Autism.
Summary: Genome and transcriptome analysis revealed BTBR autism mouse models have increased levels of endogenous retrovirus genes. BTBR/R models of ASD showed differences in the expression of a variety of genes that are indicative of endogenous retrovirus activation. BTBR/R mice exhibit autistic-like behaviors without reduced learning abilities.
Remember, they’re looking for these genetic markers for a reason.
