Abstract

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high social burden and limited treatments. Hypoxic condition of the brain is considered an important pathological mechanism of ASD. HIF1A is a key participant in brain hypoxia, but its contribution to the pathophysiological landscape of ASD remains unclear.
