Abstract

Autism, a type of genetic disease, was found to be related to various gene mutations like SHANK 3 and SHANK2. The direct results are deficits in spine pruning in early childhood while pruning’s frequency is lower than usual. In this essay, we investigate a potential treatment for genetic disease by adjusting a type of complex—cadherin/catenin complex, which is a complex that might be able to reverse the effect of spine pruning loss. A specific experiment was designed to fulfill our purpose. The significance of this work is that it sheds light on a possible treatment for an innate genetic disease. However, all of the methods mentioned are theoretical, requiring further implementation.
