Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene and Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor gene, c-Met, are proto-oncogenes which code for cell-surface tyrosine kinase receptors, EGFR and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), respectively. These membrane receptors are stimulated by ligands, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and then, through a cascade of reactions, regulate several important cell events such as growth, motility, and morphogenesis. This editorial presents a cursory look at the evidence that these proto-oncogenes, and their products, are involved in the etiology of neurobehavioral disorders, such as autism.

Compared with other journals we considered for publishing, Cancer Informatics provided extremely rapid but quality turnaround from draft submission to a flawlessly typeset final publication. Moreover, sharing the article is now as easy as sharing a link with no subscriptions required, and additional code and data files are equally accessible, supporting reproducible research. Because it has published many of our references we feel confident that our target readership must follow the journal. This is further ...
All authors are surveyed after their articles are published. Authors are asked to rate their experience in a variety of areas, and their responses help us to monitor our performance. Presented here are their responses in some key areas. No 'poor' or 'very poor' responses were received; these are represented in the 'other' category.See Our Results
