A protein interaction map suggests shared pathways across autism genes

development2026-09-06

Claim

UCSF used AlphaFold and organoids to map 1,800 interactions among proteins from 100 profound autism genes, finding shared pathways so that a separate therapeutic strategy may not be needed for every gene.

Reported metric: 1,800 interactions
