Abstract

The characteristics of early developmental regression (EDR) were investigated in individuals with ASD from affected relative pairs recruited to the International Molecular Genetic Study of Autism Consortium (IMGSAC). Four hundred and fifty-eight individuals with ASD were recruited from 226 IMGSAC families. Regression before age 36 months occurred in 23.9% of individuals. The observed concordance rate for EDR within sibling pairs (18.9%) was not significantly above the rate expected under independence (13.5%, p = 0.10). The rate of regression in individuals with ASD from multiplex families was similar to that reported in singleton and epidemiological samples. Regression concordance data were not supportive of a separate familial influence on EDR, other than as a part of autism itself.

Fifteen individuals lost skills after 36 months of age; eight of these individuals lost language skills, of whom four lost language and non-language skills and four lost language skills only. Seven of the 15 individuals lost non-language skills (most commonly social skills), by comparison with 10/105 individuals with EDR (Table 2), suggesting the possibility that non-language regression may be more common after 36 months. In the 8 individuals who lost language, regression occurred at a mean age of 65.6 months (range 42–144 months); six of these individuals met definite language loss criteria and two individuals lost language that met lower level criteria. At the time of ADI-R administration, twelve of the 15 individuals had a performance IQ > 60 and 9/15 had at least functional phrase speech. Due to the small number of children who lost skills after age 3 years, statistical comparisons with the non-regression group are not possible. Nevertheless, these data suggest that some individuals with ASD do lose language and non-language skills after age 3 years.
