A pioneering study indicate role of GABRQ rs3810651 in ASD severity of Indo-Caucasoid female probands

Abstract Alteration in gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter, is speculated to be a potential risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) due to an altered expression in the brain. Sensory, social, and emotional deficits of subjects with ASD were reported to be...
