Genes and Autism

Gene research continues to discover more about the genetic link to autism.

Researchers at the University of Washington are beginning to narrow down the genes that contribute to autism. They have discovered that different genes cause autism in girls than in boys and the research continues to state that they are understanding that more than one gene contributes to the condition. After 10 years of research, they are confident that they have discovered one of these genes. If after further studies and other researchers confirm the findings, autism genetic research will explode. If you have more than one family member that have been diagnosed somewhere on the autism spectrum you can be a part of this research by calling toll-free 1-800-994-9701. To read further go here.
