An analysis of DNA from more than 20,000 people with autism identifies 12 regions in the genome that harbor inherited risk factors for the condition.
A count of genetic variants may help predict a person’s risk of various conditions — but its clinical use prompts ethical questions.
Genetic tests for people with autism are far from routine and don’t always yield results, but the information they offer can change lives.
This article is also available in anglais. Il y a quelques années la mère d’un jeune autiste m’a téléphoné. Elle venait d’apprendre que son fils, qui était dans la vingtaine, avait une délétion de SHANK3, l’un des gènes qui, d’après les découvertes de mon équipe, subit une mutation chez certaines personnes autistes. Cette nouvelle m’a […]
This year, researchers made big headway on autism’s most perplexing questions.
This year’s list of top papers highlights new dimensions in our understanding of autism genetics and hints at novel treatments.
A newly expanded database of information from people in the United Kingdom provides a detailed picture of genetic diversity.
Autism is more heritable than anorexia, alcohol dependence, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to an analysis of data from nearly 4.5 million people.
Genetic variants across the genome contribute to about 8 percent of the risk for certain developmental conditions — much more than previously thought.
