New Study Shows Genetic Link to Autism
, 07 29th, 2010
As we’ve said before, autism is a polarizing topic because it seems like new two cases are quite the same. Treatments that help some do nothing for others, and there are always myriad culprits to point out as the origin of the disorder. Because of the massive amount of ambiguity circling around both the causes and treatments of the disease, it’s literally impossible to come to a consensus about anything. But people have a hard time disputing science, and new autism research of the DNA of children with autism may be able to finally give us a bedrock on which to build further discussion.
Last month, an extensive study from a diverse team of international researchers was published in the journal Nature. The scientists found that the patients with autism had more mutations in certain segments of their DNA than unaffected individuals. Although the mutations were different in each patient, they were there in the same segments of DNA. These findings explain why there is a spectrum of disorders with similar yet inconsistent symptoms and offer a new catalyst for treatments.
