Abstract
Autism has emerged as a prominent health concern among humans. The genes related to autism risk are crucial in developing this disorder. This research examined prior investigations focused on identifying the candidate genes linked to autism. A systematic search was conducted across electronic databases and scientific literature papers. Eventually, we consolidated and presented the ten genes connected with autism.
