The article reports two cases of childhood autism in tuberous sclerosis (TS). Certain atypical features are highlighted. The probands did not show the common seizure types associated with either TS or autism. No ventricular dilatation, cerebral atrophy or temporal lobe involvement was evident. The high prevalence of childhood autism in TS probands with moderate to severe mental retardation has been emphasized.

Maternal Inflammatory Proteins in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Age 10 Years.
JAMA Psychiatry
March 2025
Center for Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CNSR& Center for Clinical Intervention and Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CINS), Mental Health Centre Glostrup, Copenhagen University Hospital - Mental Health Services CPH, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Importance: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and cognitive deficits in early childhood. However, little is known about the contributions of a wider range of inflammatory proteins to this risk.
Objective: To determine whether maternal inflammatory proteins during pregnancy are associated with the risk of NDDs and executive functions (EF) in middle childhood and to identify protein patterns associated with NDDs and EF.
Establishing a Mouse Model of NL3R617W-Associated Autism Spectrum Disorder for a Functional Study.

Department of Pediatric, The First People's Hospital of Taizhou, 318020 Taizhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and limited behavior. Despite the association of numerous synaptic gene mutations with ASD, the presence of behavioral abnormalities in mice expressing autism-associated R617W mutation in synaptic adhesion protein neuroligin-3 (NL3) has not been established. This work focuses on establishing a mouse model of ASD caused by NL3 R617W missense mutation (NL3R617W) and characterizing and profiling the molecular as well as behavioral features of the animal model.
