...exciting to researchers is that the confusing array of genes associated with autism are beginning to make some kind of sense. "We are starting to get convergence around genes that affect how synapses and connections in the brain are made and maintained ... particularly in the frontal lobe" says Geraldine Dawson, chief science officer for Autism Speaks, an advocacy group that, along with the National Institutes of Health, funds the AGRE database. The hope, says Dawson, a co-author of the two Nature papers, is that researchers could ultimately develop drugs that affect the biochemical pathways associated with these genes. Drugs...

Steele won the race for the RNC's chairmanship on the fifth ballot by a vote of 91 to 77 against Katon Dawson, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, who was hobbled by his previous membership in an all-white country club. At one point, one of Steele's rivals was Ken Blackwell, an African American and a former Ohio secretary of state, who was widely viewed as too dogmatically conservative to head a party desperate for moderation and who eventually threw his support behind Steele.
