Mice with this genetic mutation in their social behavior showed almost the same all the deviations which are in humans suffering from autism spectrum disorder, also known as Asperger's syndrome . This is a mild form of autism, where a person stored in a certain degree of ability to socialize and intellectual capabilities do not suffer.
According to American scientists, they created a mouse could be an important step forward in the understanding of autism spectrum disorders, and this will allow a better understanding of how the various specific defects in neural development may lead to autism. In the UK alone by Asperger syndrome today suffer 10 times more children than 30 years ago. Meanwhile, scientists are just as bad versed in the causes of the disease, as before.
Mouse with autism will not only help to better understand how the disorder occurs. Having extra copies of the gene Ube3a animal can be used to test new drugs. Now used only drugs able to control the symptoms of autism, such as aggression and hyperactivity. But there is no medicine to get rid of the disorder is not yet available.
Now researchers believe that hope for the creation of such funds in the near future there. These drugs will deal with genetic defects copies Ube3a.
