Re: (article) A macroepigenetic approach to identify factors responsible for the autism epidemic in the United States

[Guest guest]

Excellent review article. It's nice to see the focus put on epigenetics rather

than just genetic markers and epidemiology. Oxidative stress from exposures to

heavy metals, organophosphate pesticides and other neurotoxins disrupts

epigenetic regulation, causing a wide array of neurodevelopmental disorders by

reducing neuronal plasticity. I remember reading the same authors' mercury

toxicity model paper. I have great respect for Dr. Deth.
