New Study Released Researching Genetic Diagnosis for Autism

by Melissa on February 7, 2008

The Genetics in Medicine journal has published a research study in its January 2008 issue detailing a road map towards creating a genetic diagnostic test for autism spectrum disorders.  I can only imagine what those who think autism is *only* vaccine-induced must be thinking.  This quote from the study intrigued me:

Epidemiologic data support the presumption that autism is primarily a genetic disorder. The calculated heritability of autism is around 90%.

That is a pretty bold statement but one which makes sense, in my opinion.
