Linked to autism spectrum disorders
[edit]The gene has been linked to autism spectrum disorders in some studies:
- Abnormalities in the genes that encode Large Amino Acid Transporters increase the risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (2020)
- Impaired Amino Acid Transport at the Blood Brain Barrier Is a Cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (2016)
- Rare autism-linked mutation starves growing neurons of essential nutrients - a news report on Spectrum, an autism website, dedicated to a study published in 2023 in Cell.
Thus far I haven't been looking for mentions in secondary sources; will try to find some. --CopperKettle (talk) 13:57, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
