Bateup will use genetic mouse models of ASD to investigate the idea that synaptic alterations in the striatum are central to the inflexible behaviors observed in ASD.
New Simons VIP Phase 2 data have recently been added to SFARI Base. This data release includes phenotypic data from individuals with 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs), 1q21.1 CNVs, and mutations in the following single genes: SCN2A, GRIN2B, PACS1, PPP2R5D, ADNP, MED13L, STXBP1, HIVEP2 and SYNGAP1.
SFARI Gene is an evolving database for the autism research community that is centered on genes implicated in autism susceptibility.
SFARI is pleased to announce that it has selected six finalists in response to the 2016 Bridge to Independence Award request for applications. This awards program is intended to invest in the next generation of top autism investigators by identifying talented early-career scientists and facilitating their transition to an independent research career.
Today, we’re announcing our annual request for applications (RFA) for SFARI Pilot and Research Awards. Letters of intent (LOIs), the short statements that precede full applications, are due no later than 9 October, 2015. As we do every year, we’ve updated this column to provide a better picture of how the SFARI science team makes decisions on research proposals.
The Simons Variation in Individuals Project (Simons VIP) is studying individuals with recurrent genetic variants that increase autism risk.
A number of autism risk factors converge on one cellular pathway: abnormal remodeling of the cell's structural systems through the signaling protein Rho, says SFARI’s associate director for research, Alan Packer.
SFARI is helping to make mouse models of high-risk autism genes and copy number variants available to the research community.
