Autism Genome Discovery

The discovery of the long-standing inferences challenges. Because autism often occur in the same family, the experts tend to think past autistic siblings will inherit the same autism susceptibility gene from their parents. Dr. Scherer said, it now appears, this may not be true. It has long been understood autism have differences, but the latest research results make this difference a reality, “virtual certainty” of. “Every autistic child is like a snowflake, snowflakes and other different.”

Scherer said that this means that people should not behave like an ordinary diagnostic genetic testing as just looking for a suspect autism risk genes, but the need for a complete assessment of each individual’s genome, in order to determine how best to make use of genetic Knowledge conduct personalized treatment. Whole-genome sequencing analysis of the complete DNA sequence of the individual aspects of genetic testing has been far more than the traditional method.

Autism Speaks is North America’s largest autism science and advocacy organization. Since its inception in 2005, for a family with autism invested over 160 million US dollars of funds for research and development of new resources. The agency is committed to funding autism causes, prevention, treatment, and other related biomedical research, to raise public awareness of autism and autism advocate love and family. In addition, Autism Speaks has also established a series of autism repository and carry out research projects, including Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) databases and other scientific and clinical research projects.
