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.
