Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by multiple dysfunctions in behavior, the nervous system, and the immune system. Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) plays a crucial role in the pathology of ASD. In clinical practice, altered mtDNA levels have been observed in various tissues of individuals with ASD. Mutation or oxidation of mtDNA is also closely related to the immune response associated with the pathology of autism. With mtDNA identified as a causal factor, much interest has focused on how its production affects neurodevelopment and neurophysiology. Here, we review how mtDNA leads to dysfunction of cellular mitochondria and immune response. We also illustrate the relationship between mtDNA alterations and the pathology of autism. Finally, we discuss the existing evidence on cell-free mtDNA associated with ASD and look forward to its application in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Neurobiology is an exciting journal for neuroscientists needing to stay in close touch with progress at the forefront of molecular brain research today. It is an especially important periodical for graduate students and "postdocs," specifically designed to synthesize and critically assess research trends for all neuroscientists hoping to stay active at the cutting edge of this dramatically developing area. This journal has proven to be crucial in departmental libraries, serving as essential reading for every committed neuroscientist who is striving to keep abreast of all rapid developments in a forefront field. Most recent significant advances in experimental and clinical neuroscience have been occurring at the molecular level. Until now, there has been no journal devoted to looking closely at this fragmented literature in a critical, coherent fashion. Each submission is thoroughly analyzed by scientists and clinicians internationally renowned for their special competence in the areas treated.
