  • Title: The neurobiology of autism.
    Author: Potgieter ST, Fryns JP.
    Journal: Genet Couns; 1999; 10(2):117-22. PubMed ID: 10422003.
    Abstract:
    Although the primary cause of autism has not yet been unravelled, a number of genetic conditions have been strongly associated with the behavioural triad of autism. We briefly review the underlying neuropathological, biological and genetic evidence of the possible mechanisms involved in autism. This knowledge should guide accurate investigation of the autistic individual and genetic counselling of parents and family members.
