Scientists uncover gene tied to autism's hallmark behaviors A global research team led by The Hospital for Sick Children has identified PTCHD1-AS, a long non-coding RNA gene on the X chromosome, as ...

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic ...

A new study identifies PTCHD1-AS as a key non-coding gene that shapes social and repetitive behaviors in autism without affecting cognition.

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
