Autism Spectrum Disorder

Arachidonic acid, which is released from phospholipid membranes, is metabolized to various epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) compounds and subsequently to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (diHETrE). This study revealed that high levels of 11,12- diHETrE in umbilical cord blood are associated with ASD symptoms, such as social affect (SA) and adaptive functioning. Additionally, lower levels of 8,9-diHETrE impacted repetitive/restrictive behaviors (RRB).

Genes involved in chromatin modification and gene transcription are associated with the progression of neurodevelopmental disorders. Researchers from Japan have developed a new mouse model to study the molecular mechanism behind the ability of KMT2C to cause autism spectrum disorder. They also showed that vafidemstat has a rescuing effect by normalizing disrupted gene expression.
