In fact, the researchers found gene expression differences between ASD and non-ASD in genes related to translation and immune / inflammation functions, as well as cell adhesion and cell cycle. (sciencedaily.com)
For example, the researchers were able to identify previously unknown gene expression differences between the neural stem cells that give rise to the brain's deep structures versus its neocortical surface, and to show that molecular signatures of different neural cell types arise much earlier in brain development than previously realized.

Recently, a large - scale microarray study characterized gene expression differences between current, former, and never smokers [5], and identified specific genes related to xenobiotic functions, anti-oxidation, cell adhesion and electron transport to be more highly expressed in current smokers relative to never smokers.
