Figure 3. Autistic samples show altered expression of transcripts involved in cell communication and differentiation.

Figure 3

Differentially expressed genes were functionally classified based on literature search (for references, see Supplemental Material 2). We observed a strong overrepresentation of differentially expressed transcripts mediating cell communication and motility, cell fate and differentiation, and chaperones. The magnitude of the gene expression change is coded by cell shading, and checkmarks denote successful qPCR validation of differential expression. Note that the transcript inductions (grey boxes) greatly outnumbered transcript repressions (white boxes).
