Figure 1. The cerebellum as a mediator of ASD risk.

Figure 1

(a) Patterns of ASD gene co-expression show specific expression in cerebellum during early postnatal years (image adapted from (Menashe et al., 2013); see also (Willsey et al., 2013). (b) Risk ratios for ASD for a variety of probable genetic (light blue) and environmental (dark blue) factors. Risk ratios were taken directly from the literature except for the largest four risks, which were calculated relative to the US general-population risk. At 36X, cerebellar injury carries the largest single non-heritable risk. For explanation of other risks see text.
