This comprehensive book delves into the intricate world of proteins associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, encompassing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It provides a detailed analysis of the interactions between these associated proteins, including bromodomain-containing proteins (BCPs), kinases, synaptic proteins, scaffolding proteins, transcriptional factors, and DNA-binding proteins, at both subcellular and molecular levels. Furthermore, the book explores the potential of these proteins as druggable targets and biomarkers for these disorders.

In addition, the book delves into the recent advancements in understanding the crucial role of epigenetic factors in predisposition to these diseases. It also presents genetic factors that contribute to variations in gene expression in these disorders, highlighting the importance of diet intervention and the promising future of stem cell therapy in managing these conditions.

Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and individuals interested in gaining a deeper understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders and the potential for targeted therapies and biomarkers.
