Dr. Daniel Vogt, Ph.D.<\/a>, explores monogenic syndromes and what they can tell us about the underlying causes of autism. He describes signaling pathways critical in early development, highlighting the electrical nature of cell communication and function. The presenter explains how testing the impact of autism risk gene variations on cell signaling pathways can help us understand the roles and outcomes of specific genetic mutations in autism. Vogt presents recent research suggesting disruptions to cell circuitry in autism and highlights the need for research into the connection between cell communication and autistic behaviors. He provides thanks and acknowledgments before the Q&A.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
