Spontaneous Gene Mutations Cause Autism

There's now the theory that gene mutations are causing autism. A paper was published in the Journal Cell where research reveals that an enzyme named UBE3A could be turned off when a phosphate molecule is tacked onto UBE3A. In neurons and during brain development, this switch may be turned either off or on, which leads to rather tight regulation of UBE3A. A research team discovered that an autism-connected mutation harms this regulatory switch. As a result of the destruction of the switch, that causes an enzyme's inability to be turned off, UBE3A gets hyperactive and fuels abnormal brain development and autism.

He started to make eye contact; his speech began to improve greatly; he grew less insistent for the same routine; and he showed a much higher level of energy.
