New Genetic Tools to Treat Autism and Pediatric Neurological Disorders with Joseph Gleeson

Joseph G. Gleeson, MD, Rady Professor of Neuroscience at UC San Diego, joins William Mobley, MD, PhD, to discuss his work sequencing DNA to find treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders. Learn more about using a genetic framework to tease out the individual contributors to autism, why implementing rapid DNA sequencing for newborns can make huge impacts, and more.

My son just found out the gene for autism. He is an adult and low functioning. So many things I love about my son but I wish him to have friends.

Research needed and testing - funds - can it not be setup as a charity?

[@doloresekirstenshow8286]

What is called that DNA exam ?

[@laxarad100]

Toxins in vaccines affect the epigenome which tells the genome what to do. The epigenome will not be able to switch on for example speech and other cognitive abilities of the child.

[@platinumbettyines]

He is talking but not talking 😞

[@JamesGKLogan]

I have a child who is 7 years old, healthy but not talking.
