First Common Autism Gene Identified

Author: mom_to_one, 07 13th, 2010

One of the biggest obstacles in raising autism awareness is the fact that so little is known about the disease. Despite ongoing efforts from doctors and researchers around the globe, the causes and effective treatments for autism have eluded medical professionals. A new breakthrough, however, gives some hope to solving the autism enigma.

New research has led to the first genetic link to autism, indicating that alterations in brain connections could be the cause of up to 15 percent of autism cases. It will take time, of course, for researchers to use these findings to begin developing appropriate treatments, but it is an unequivocal step in the right direction. DNA from more than 12,000 people was used in the studies, which are being published in Molecular Psychiatry and the journal Nature.
