Abstract

Autism is the most severe end of a spectrum of neurodevelopmental conditions, autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ASD are genetically heterogeneous, and hundreds of genes have been implicated in the etiology of the disease. Here, we discuss the contribution of brain transcriptome studies in advancing our understanding of the genetic mechanisms of ASD and review recent work characterizing the spatial and temporal variation of the human brain transcriptome, with a focus on the relevance of these data to autism susceptibility genes.
