Cover Story: The role of infections in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate markers of infections and immune activation in ASD. Our data do not support an association between infections and ASD; however, a significant number of genes belonging to the prion diseases pathway was found to be modulated in the ASD brain, providing support for the involvement in ASD of common biomolecular pathways related to other neurodegenerative diseases.
