ASD
We aimed to choose different ranges, ages, sexes, and races of ASD individuals. Buccal swabs were collected from the epithelial tissue lining the oral cavity, followed by DNA extraction by using canvax mini spin kit . The whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) was applied to the bisulfite-converted DNA to study the methylation pattern of the genes in ASD and compared it with that of neurotypical controls. The main goal is to find biomarkers and understand the etiology of autism.
