The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
But again, most of the evidence points out towards a very strong genetic component, behind it. And in fact, we now have hundreds of genes that we know when they are mutated, they are strongly associated with specific forms of autism.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the broad institute at harvard mit has identified about 100 genes linked to autism spectrum disorder all involved in early fetal brain development many of them involved in neuronal communication
there are at least 100 genes that have been identified with high confidence as being associated with autism um depending on how rigorous you want to be about this process then you know some people would say that we estimate that there are at least a thousand genes
there are at least 100 genes that have been identified with high confidence as being associated with autism depending on how rigorous you want to be about this process than you know some people would say that we estimate that there are at least a thousand genes
so autism is the same right the diagnosis is clinical it's a phenotypic defined disease and maybe up to a thousand genes involved in in that or a thousand different ways to get there or more right
actually hundreds and some people say up to like a thousand gen have been Associated
