Workshop Reports

Workshop report: Online phenotyping For individuals with autism, a trip to the clinic — an unfamiliar place with strange people and instruments — can be exceedingly stressful. And as many genetic databases for autism include tens of thousands of participants, it is increasingly challenging for researchers to do in-person…

Workshop report: Glia’s role in autism Glia were once thought to play a secondary role to neurons in the brain. But studies in the past few years have shown that they may be involved in many brain disorders, including autism. On 7 December, SFARI and the Rett Syndrome Research Trust organized…

Workshop report: Developmental neurobiology of autism Converging lines of evidence suggest that the earliest events in brain development play a role in autism. On 12 September, the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative brought together a group of scientists to discuss the latest findings on early brain development’s relevance to autism, based…

Workshop report: 16p11.2 deletions and duplications The chromosomal region 16p11.2, which spans about 29 genes, is strongly linked to autism. On 27 April, SFARI hosted a workshop to discuss the consequences of duplications or deletions of this region.
