Comments on: New clues to autism’s cause http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2008/07/new-clues-to-autisms-cause/ Autism news and opinion Tue, 22 May 2012 14:29:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Another Voice http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2008/07/new-clues-to-autisms-cause/#comment-51757 Another Voice Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:22:56 +0000 http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/?p=930#comment-51757 I am happy to see that autism is receiving serious study by qualified people and that they are publishing their work. I think that mainstream medicine has left a void in reporting what avenues are being explored, what areas have not panned out and which are showing some promise. Of course that void is being filled with something other than facts. I am happy to see that autism is receiving serious study by qualified people and that they are publishing their work.

And I would expect that quite a few of the genes responsible for autism will be found in the children's parents. Of course, they're are denovo mutations, too. I see the toxic parents losing ground every day. I guess we could expect more and more genes to be identified.

(Factorial, not Exclamation) Multiplied again by the number of variants that contibute, this would create a great number of combinations for available degrees of difference on the spectrum.

Here’s further commentary from today’s Science Daily: The researchers used a technique that pinpoints from a relatively small group of families genes responsible for disorders that can be amplified by parenthood among relatives, which can increase transmission of recessive diseases. Evidence had hinted at such transmission in autism, and the large amount of genetic information obtainable from such families reduced the need for a much larger sample including many families with multiple affected members.
