Spontaneous gene glitches linked to autism risk with older dads, April 4, 2012 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

nih.gov — “Researchers have turned up a new clue to the workings of a possible environmental factor in: fathers were four times more likely than mothers to transmit tiny, spontaneous mutations to their children with the disorders. Moreover, the number of such transmitted genetic glitches increased with paternal age. The discovery may help to explain earlier evidence linking autism risk to older fathers.” View full resource at nih.gov

citeulike.org — “Si Hahn. Genome Medicine, Vol. 4, No. 3. (2012), 22, doi:10.1186/gm321. Next-generation sequencing has become a powerful tool for testing genetically and clinically heterogeneous conditions such as mitochondrial disorders. A recent study published in Science Translational Medicine underscores the considerable clinical benefits of targeted next-generation sequencing for the diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders. The findings also suggest that the genetic heterogeneity that can result in mitochondr” View full resource at citeulike.org

How parents are changing the course of autism research - Health & wellness - The Boston Globe

bostonglobe.com — “In the last few years, scientists and doctors have begun listening to parents of kids with autism and begun to deepen their understanding of a condition that now affects almost 1 in 100 American children, 80 percent of them boys. Once considered a genetically driven brain disorder that was preordained at birth and unchanging throughout life, a more nuanced view of autism is slowly emerging - and that should help everyone cope a little better” View full resource at bostonglobe.com
