Twin Studies in Autism: What Might They Say About Genetic and Environmental Influences

Auteur: George M. Anderson

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 7/2012

Abstract

Genetic and epigenetic differences exist within monozygote twin-pairs and might be especially important in the expression of autism. Assuming phenotypic differences between monozygotic twins are due to environmental influences may lead to mistaken conclusions regarding the relative genetic and environmental contribution to autism risk.
