Low Expression Levels of <i>MAOA</i> and <i>TPH1</i> Genes May Represent Risk Factors in Boys With Autism Spectrum Disorder—A Case–Control Study
This study is the first to investigate and establish a correlation between the expression levels of the MAOA and TPH1 genes and ASD using human blood samples. Low MAOA and TPH1 gene expression levels, may contribute to serotonergic dysregulation potentially acting as risk factors involved in ASD.
