Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have made a significant breakthrough in autism research. The 51ԹϺ researchers uncovered a connection to a type of neuromuscular disease called myotonic dystrophy.

Newswise

A recent discovery of a molecular connection between autism and myotonic dystrophy, a type of neuromuscular disease, may provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorder. The new study by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, published on April 21 in Nature Neuroscience, used myotonic dystrophy as a tool or model to learn more about autism – effectively using one disorder to better understand the other.
