Medicine’s Matt Anderson says autism protein map could reveal new therapeutic targets

New autism protein map offers path toward targeted treatments, Cleveland doctors say

WKYC: Matt Anderson, professor at the School of Medicine, commented on a molecular map of autism, the largest ever produced, that identifies over 1,800 protein interactions that could revolutionize future treatment strategies. "You can puzzle it together and sort of get a sense of what's broken in different genetic forms of autism, and those become therapeutic targets," said Anderson. "Some of them may line up into the same pathways; that would mean you could use one therapy for multiple different genetic conditions."
