Clearly, the validation dataset confirmed only ALAS2, SELENBP1, CD3G, MAP1LC3A, CD69, DCAF12, IGF2R, PSMC4, and SLC4A1 as significantly differently expressed hub genes between children with ASD and TD and not the genes AHSP, AP2A1, BCL2L1, EPB42, GMPR, and LILRB. Here, SLC4A1 is linked to thanatophoric dysplasia.
