Exploring the Genetics of Autism: Insights from Dr. Joseph Buxbaum

In honor of Autism Awareness Month in April, we interviewed Dr. Joseph Buxbaum, an expert in genomics research related to autism. He explained how genomics helps us understand the genetic factors that contribute to autism, and how recent advances have allowed us to identify hundreds of associated genes. Dr. Buxbaum also discussed the benefits and limitations of genetic testing and highlighted the potential of gene therapies and personalized medicine for autism treatment.
