ASD is considered the result of interactions among environmental, immunological and genetic factors: 600 - 1200 genes have been identified as associated with autism.
QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) is a software application that lets you explore the biological relationships among genes, proteins, diseases and more. This poster explores the complex genetic structure of austim spectrum disorder, and is just one of the several hundred pathways exclusive to IPA.
