Research on autism spectrum disorder offers opportunities to study specific genetic mutations that could potentially reveal biological insights into the development of autism. Consistent with this, researchers have created lists of hundreds of studied risk genes for autism. The vast majority of autism cases are the result of multiple genetic and biological factors (Singer, n.d.). …Continue reading SCN2A: A Top Candidate Gene Linked to Autism
