“…One of these convergent pathways, indicated by the involvement of several genes in which pathogenic variants can increase the probability of ASD, is synaptic function: this pathway has been discussed in several contributions present in this Special Issue. For example, Vasic et al [ 20 ]. discuss the connections between observations in humans and those derived from murine studies of genes involved in so-called “signalopathies”, including PTEN , TSC1 , TSC2 and NF1 , and how their point of convergence is abnormal synaptic function [ 20 ].…”
