Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between functional variants in long non-coding RNA genes and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), finding a significant association with the SNP rs2295412.
- It shows that each additional C allele reduces the risk of ASD by 19%, but gut microbiota does not significantly mediate this relationship.
- The findings suggest that lncRNA variants are important in ASD risk, and further research is needed to explore other potential mechanisms involved.

Previous studies mostly focused on the effects of air pollution on physical health, but there were few studies on the effects of air pollution on mental health.
Methods: We collected scores of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms from 15,331 adolescents from 43 schools in eleven provinces in September and November 2017.
Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can lead to adverse health outcomes and socioeconomic difficulties. Evidence from longitudinal studies on the association between dyslexia and psychological symptoms in children is limited. Moreover, the psychological trends of children with dyslexia are unclear.

However, identifying the lncRNAs associated with ASD and the risk loci on them remains a major challenge. This study aims to identify potential causative variants and explore the related mechanisms.

The study aimed to estimate the associations between school-based greenness and depressive and anxiety symptoms among adolescents and explore potential modifier and mediator between the associations.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 15,559 adolescents was conducted in China.
