Library Item Name:

Gene Tests Can Detect 'Proportion' Of Autism 		   
Summary Statement:

- Genetic testing should be routinely considered as part of clinical workup in suspected cases of autism, researchers here recommended.


It was the third major report on the genetics of autism in the past two months. In this one, Stephen Scherer, Ph.D., of the Hospital for Sick Children, and colleagues found that structural variation of genetic material is widespread among those with autism.

The variations include gains and losses of genetic material, as well as translocations and inversions, they reported in the February issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics.
