Large genomic studies of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have revealed approximately 100-200 high risk genes. However, whether these genes function in similar or different signaling networks in brain cells (neurons) remains poorly studied. We are using proteomic technology to build an ASD-associated signaling network map as a resource for the Autism research community. This resource can be used to study Autism risk genes and understand how pathways are convergent, and how patient mutations change the interaction profile. In this presentation, we will present how we developed a pipeline using neurons to build protein-protein interaction profiles. We detected previously unknown interactions between different ASD risk genes that have never been linked together before, and for some genes, we identified new signaling pathways that have not been previously reported. This resource will be available to the research community and will foster collaborations between ASD researchers to help accelerate therapeutics for ASD and related disorders.
