Relevance to Autism
Genetic association has been found between the VASH1 gene and autism in two large cohorts (AGRE and ACC) of European ancestry and replicated in two other cohorts (CAP and CART) (Wang et al., 2009).
Molecular Function
This protein is an angiogenesis inhibitor. It inhibits migration, proliferation and network formation by endothelial cells as well as angiogenesis.
