So for 20 years of this epidemic, researchers focusing on genes instead of things that may be messing up the genes (epigenetic factors) have discovered this! Fucking brilliant! And we now still know nothing because why???
Study Reveals Autism Genes Are in All of Us
New light has
been shed on the genetic relationship between autistic spectrum
disorders (ASD) and ASD-related traits in the wider population, by a
team of international researchers including academics from the
University of Bristol, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).The researchers studied whether there is a genetic relationship
between ASD and the expression of ASD-related traits in populations not
considered to have ASD. Their findings, published this week in Nature Genetics,
suggest that genetic risk underlying ASD, including both inherited
variants and de novo influences (not seen in an individual’s parents),
affects a range of behavioural and developmental traits across the
population, with those diagnosed with ASD representing a severe
presentation of those traits.“Genetic risk for autism
spectrum disorders and neuropsychiatric variation in the general
population” by Robinson, EB, St. Pourcain, B et al. will appear in Nature Genetics during the week of March 21 2016.
