Cause of one third of all autism cases may have been discovered by scientists Research in mice suggests increasing levels of a single protein in the brain could reduce symptoms

There are many mouse models of autism and it is not fully understood how reliable or valid these are.

An interesting find, would wonder if pharmaceutical companies would eventually latch onto this as an idea for treating autism by finding a way of upregulating nSR100?

Though I was under the understanding that autism has a multitude of causes (i.e. Fragile X syndrome yields autism-like signs).
