This study tried to link abnormalities in different genes, such as FMR1, UBE3A, GABRB3, GABRA5, GABRG3, SHANK3, MECP2, TSC1, TSC2, and NF1, that are associated with synaptic transmission, cell growth, as well as translational and transcriptional regulation, with behavioral and neurophysiological sensitivity, as these genes are causative to syndromes with autism-like symptoms and sensory abnormalities. This evidence concerns the gene TSC2 and autism.
