The findings suggest that the energy the flies expend to fight their burgeoning bugs, comes without a longevity trade-off, the researchers said.

Autism risk higher in people with gene variant
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
This study strengthens evidence that a gene, CNTNAP2, is involved in autism, and suggests that the link is strongest when a variation in the gene is inherited from moms, rather than dads. The gene encodes a protein that's known to mediate interactions between brain cells and that appears to enable a crucial aspect of brain-cell development. A gene variant that altered either of these activities could have significant impact.
