Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that poses several challenges in terms of clinical diagnosis and investigation of molecular etiology. The lack of knowledge on the pathogenic mechanisms underlying ASD has hampered the clinical trials that so far have tried to target ASD behavioral symptoms. In order to improve our understanding of the molecular abnormalities associated with ASD, a deeper and more extensive genetic profiling of targeted individuals with ASD was needed. Methods: The recent availability of new and more powerful sequencing technologies (third-generation sequencing) has allowed to develop novel strategies for characterization of comprehensive genetic profiles of individuals with ASD. In particular, this review will describe integrated approaches based on the combination of various omics technologies that will lead to a better stratification of targeted cohorts for the design of clinical trials in ASD. Results: In order to analyze the big data collected by assays such as whole genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome, it is critical to develop an efficient computational infrastructure. Machine learning models are instrumental to identify non-linear relationships between the omics technologies and therefore establish a functional informative network among the different data sources. Conclusion: The potential advantage provided by these new integrated omics-based strategies is to better characterize the genetic background of ASD cohorts, identify novel molecular targets for drug development, and ultimately offer a more personalized approach in the design of clinical trials for ASD.

Systemic Nature

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), such as inflammatory bowel diseases and inflammatory arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis), are marked by increasing worldwide incidence rates. Apart from irreversible damage of the affected tissue, the systemic nature of these diseases heightens the incidence of cardiovascular insults and colitis-associated neoplasia. Only 40–60% of patients respond to currently used standard-of-care immunotherapies. In addition to this limited long-term effectiveness, all current therapies have to be given on a lifelong basis as they are unable to specifically reprogram the inflammatory process and thus achieve a true cure of the disease. On the other hand, the development of various OMICs technologies is considered as “the great hope” for improving the treatment of IMIDs. This review sheds light on the progressive development and the numerous approaches from basic science that gradually lead to the transfer from “bench to bedside” and the implementation into general patient care procedures.
