New Genetic Studies Suggest Why Autism Is More Common In Boys Than Girls | Care2 Causes
care2.com — “Three new studies in Neuron reports that hundreds of spontaneous genetic mutations have been linked to autism. Such CBS News describes the findings as a shocker, previous research has indicated that de novo or spontaneous gene mutations can be linked to the neurodevelopmental disorder. As Time magazine says, the new studies differ from previous genetic studies, which looked at families with at least two autistic children; such families may represent cases in which inherited genetic mutations may” View full resource at care2.com
