Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by impairments in social functioning, language, communication, and behavior. Recent genome-wide association studies show some microdeletions on the 7q31-32 region, including the CADPS2 locus in autistic patients. This paper reports the case of a patient with ASD and recurrent psychotic syndrome, in which a deletion on the 7q31-32 band at the CADPS2 gene locus was evidenced, as well as a brief review of the literature on the CADPS2 gene and its association with ASD.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the negative impact of manmade chemicals, particularly the herbicide linuron, on biodiversity and human health, focusing on its transgenerational effects.
- The study examines how linuron exposure affects DNA methylation patterns in the pancreas of male Xenopus tropicalis frogs, revealing significant changes in genes crucial for metabolic health and pancreatic function.
- The findings indicate that environmental contamination can lead to lasting metabolic disturbances, highlighting the potential health risks linked to pesticide exposure across generations.
Revelation of genetic diversity and genomic footprints of adaptation in Indian pig breeds.

Livestock Production and Management, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bareilly, UP, India.
In the present study, the genetic diversity measures among four Indian domestic breeds of pig namely Agonda Goan, Ghurrah, Ghungroo, and Nicobari, of different agro-climatic regions of country were explored and compared with European commercial breeds, European wild boar and Chinese domestic breeds. The double digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) data of Indian pigs (102) and Landrace (10 animals) were generated and whole genome sequencing data of exotic pigs (60 animals) from public data repository were used in the study. The principal component analysis (PCA), admixture analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed that Indian breeds were closer in ancestry to Chinese breeds than European breeds.

Electronic address:
Ethnopharmacological Relevanc: Pyrolae herba (PH), a kind of Chinese herb, has been identified to have an anti-inflammatory effect, while the potential for treating cognitive impairment (CI), as well as the underlying mechanisms, is unclear. Currently, the interaction between neuroinflammation and neural function play a critical role in pathophysiology of CI.
Aim Of The Study: To elucidate therapeutic effect of PH for CI as well as its underlying mechanisms with LPS-treated mice model.
Genetic and neural mechanisms of sleep disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder: a review.
Front Psychiatry

Department of Psychology, Army Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background: The incidence of sleep disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is very high. Sleep disorders can exacerbate the development of ASD and impose a heavy burden on families and society. The pathological mechanism of sleep disorders in autism is complex, but gene mutations and neural abnormalities may be involved.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, with onset in childhood and a considerable likelihood to persist into adulthood. Our previous work has identified that across adults and adolescents with ADHD, gray matter volume (GMV) alteration in the frontal cortex was consistently associated with working memory underperformance, and GMV alteration in the cerebellum was associated with inattention. Recent knowledge regarding ADHD genetic risk loci makes it feasible to investigate genomic factors underlying these persistent GMV alterations, potentially illuminating the pathology of ADHD persistence.
