Finally, we obtained 13 common genes: GABRA5, GABRG3, NTM, SNRPN, OTX1, FOXG1, TSHZ3, CDH18, GABRB3, GATM, HTR2A, DHCR7 and NLRP2. Then, we performed an enrichment analysis of the common genes, aiming to uncover the key biological pathways among autism, brain development and genomic imprinting. The gene discussed is DHCR7; the disease is autism.
