News Alert: There may soon be a way to
genetically test children for ASD.
So far, there have been "unprecedented advances" in
the genetic study of ASD. Perhaps the most significant breakthrough of the past
half-decade has been establishing the genetic basis of ASD in the first place,
writes author James Gusella, Ph.D.
So far,
researchers have identified hundreds of genes associated with varying degrees
of ASD risk. Those genes also appear to be related to other neurodevelopmental
disorders and psychiatric problems, writes Gusella. The hope is that these
breakthroughs will open the door to research on the interplay between
environmental factors and genes.
Currently,
there is no standard blood/genetic test for diagnosing ASD. Instead,
professionals evaluate a child's behavior for signs which include failing to
make eye contact with others, repetitive play, sensitivity to everyday noises
and a lag in motor skills.
