   What are the non-genetic causes of autism?

   • Prenatal viral infection has been called the principal non-genetic cause of autism. Prenatal exposure to rubella or cytomegalovirus activates the mother's immune response and may greatly increase the risk for autism in mice. Congenital rubella syndrome is the most convincing environmental cause of autism.

   Is autism a genetic disorder?

   • Autism is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder. Although multiple genes, risk alleles and copy number variants (CNVs) have been implicated in ASD, none of the currently established genetic causes of ASD accounts for more than 2% of the cases, and a genetic diagnosis is not yet possible for most autism patients.

   What is a single gene cause of autism?

   • Some monogenic (single gene) conditions associated with autism include Fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis, and mutations of the CHD8, ARID1B, SHANK3 and SCN1A genes. More than a hundred single-gene causes of autism are now described, most of which are uncommon or frankly rare.

   3 days ago · The findings could shed light on other forms of ASD as well. “The ability to partially remedy brain pathway changes at later developmental stages suggests that gene therapy may be effectively applied in FOXP1 syndrome and actually normalize symptoms,” said Genevieve Konopka, Ph.D., who co-led the study with Jay Gibson, Ph.D.
