S100B dysregulation during brain development affects synaptic SHANK protein networks via alteration of zinc homeostasis

Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and nongenetic factors. Among the nongenetic factors, maternal immune system activation and zinc deficiency have been proposed. Intriguingly, as a genetic factor, copy-number variations in S100B, a pro-inf...
