Genetics play a bigger role than environmental causes for autism

Genetics plays more of a role in the development of autism than environmental causes, according to new research published Sunday in Nature Genetics.

The study found that 52% of autism risk comes from common genes, while only 2.6% are attributed to spontaneous mutations caused by, among other things, environmental factors.

“These genetic variations are common enough that most people are likely to have some,” said Joseph Buxbaum, a researcher at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study. “Each one has a tiny effect on autism risk, and many hundreds or thousands together make a significant risk.”

Using Sweden’s health registry, the researchers compared 3,000 people with autism to 3,000 people without autism to determine the degrees that common and rare genes, as well as spontaneous mutations, contribute to autism risk. The study authors also compared the study’s results with a parallel study of 1.6 million Swedish families that identified specific genetic risk factors.

Buxbaum says the presence of these common genes can only determine the risk of autism, not whether or not the condition will develop. And even though spontaneous mutations only account for a small percentage of autism risk, their effect is significant.

“[Individuals] might have all the common variants there as part of their background risk, but it took this initial hit to push them over the edge,” Buxbaum said.

Chris Gunter, an autism researcher at the Marcus Autism Center and professor at the Emory University School of Medicine, says the findings of this study are similar to those reported in other studies.

“There is no one gene for autism,” Gunter said. “Instead there are many different genetic variations which each contribute a little bit to the risk of developing the group of symptoms we diagnose as autism.”

She added that we still don’t know exactly how much these different factors contribute to the development of autism.

Once scientists accumulate more data on the autism population, Buxbaum says this new research could help develop a “risk score” - such as the one that exists for heart attacks - that would help patients determine the likelihood of family members developing autism.

“The autism field has changed dramatically,” Buxbaum said. “We now have immense power to find both common and rare and spontaneous mutations in autism. That’s really the exciting part.”

      The researchers found 41% of ASD in a Swedish population – could not be explained directly by genetics. What is not stated and which is self evident from a medical point of view that 'common genes' are each and everyone of them influenced in some way by environment.

      The general public need to understand that it is not a Gene v Environment but a complex series of interactions that can begin in utero and continue through a person's life span.

      For instance just recently researchers from the University of California added to the solid base of evidence that pollution interacts with genes in utero to raise autism risk significantly.

      That's just one of the 'environmental ' factors that are currently well evidenced and part of further investigation. Others include bacteria, viruses such influenza , measles and rubella , pesticides , toxins and heavy metals ... plus a plethora of evidence from the prenatal environment.

      Adding to this is the relationships of other diseases and disorders found in Autism , most notably the relationships of seizures , epilepsy . allergies , autoimmune diseases and gastrointestinal diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

      Understanding the simple but complex relationships between genes and environment will see us progressively work towards new and exciting treatment regimes some as simple as prebiotics successfully shown in animal models to essentially 'cure' ... and that's more than exciting because that may mean future generations will be able to be free from depression , anxiety , bipolar , schizophrenia ...

    Thanks for this good summary.

    I think most of us still think of "single gene" genetics. It's interesting to see how genetics understanding has chanced in the past decade.

      How very proper of you to believe what you are told. Unfortunately much of what we are told is NOT true. Specifically about vaccines and more specifically the MMR vaccine. This recent news backs up what many mothers and fathers have reported about the day their baby or toddler changed – losing previous speech, motor and social skills as well as physical health. Recently the name of a CDC whistle blower was made public. He is a PhD and along with other PhDs colluded to withhold the information that their study of the MMR vaccine showed that it caused a large (320%) increase in autism in the black male child recipients. It is stated separately that blacks reacted at twice the rate of others so we can guess that other races are affected at about a 160% increase in autism. This cover up occurred 13 years ago. Since that time one of the other PhDs involved with the study actually sat before a congressional hearing and lied about the evidence. The whistle blower feels guilty, but that is much less important at this point in time than getting the information out. He knows his professional career is over, at the very least. He just wants to get this information out. We need this information in order to stop the damage. He is threatening a very profitable business line. His information tells us that we cannot trust the CDC and the individuals who purport to work to keep us safe. See what Jon Rappoport has to say. This whistle blower's reputation is at risk, his life is at risk. That is how it works when one threatens big business and big bureaucracies. He was escorted off the campus of the CDC 2 days ago. So we know that they now know who he is. It is important that we get this information and in order to do that William Thompson's name needs to be known, and he needs to be kept safe.

      You are so right. My perfectly speaking and developing child got a flu shot at 2 and has never been the same since that day. The change happened within 2 hours after. I called the doctor and told him my child just became Autistic. He told me I was paranoid. After about a year of denial the Autism diagnosis came. We adults can only take 2 painkillers but an 18 lb baby can get 3 shots in one day? I never got a flu shot and have lived through it many times but my child's doctor shamed me into getting that flu shot and even after I told him I think my child became Autistic from it he insisted I come back for the flu booster a month later. He didn't even ask to check my child for the lack of eye contact or speech setbacks after that shot. If I called about a cold, flu or earache they would say bring em right in!

  6. Something's missing...

    So 52% is caused by genetics and 2.6% by spontaneous mutations caused by environmental factors. Ok, so what about the other 46%?....not saying it's vaccines, that's been disproven, but that definitely leaves a lot of room for environmental factors to have a big role in the condition.

      The 52% is due to "common" genes....there are also rare ones that have not been accounted for in this article....just mentioned briefly.

      There is a difference between "environmental factors" and "results not yet explained by genetics." This problem is often termed "missing heritability" in discussions of polygenic traits like autism or human adult stature.

      – Environmental factors can still play a huge role among those 52% of autism risk. The key word is risk ...Among those 52% with the genes some may develop the disease...so outside factors can trigger this propensity for Autism. I do not believe this study really tell us anything more re: Autism and environment.
      Like you stated also what about the other 48%. They definitely need a more refine study. I believe environment and nutrition play a huge factor!

      @Lucy

      Well said. It isn't a black and white issue – clearly environment interacts with genes and it's not just the mother and father. The environment of prior generations can have a clear effect on genes and is a cause for great concern.

      Washington State University professor had this to say only yesterday

      ""What your great-grandmother was exposed to during pregnancy, like the pesticide methoxychlor, may promote a dramatic increase in your susceptibility to develop disease, and you will pass this on to your grandchildren in the absence of any continued exposures," says author Michael Skinner."

      * Pesticides have been linked to a significant rise in ASD risk, as has heavy metals and other pollutants.

      See the above note. It has not been dis-proven. Continuously stating the same misinformation over and over and using the tired but effective method of ridicule is the usual technique used to convince readers of a desired opinion. When actual results are hidden and scientists themselves lie, we must be more diligent and look for causes and factors that match up with the observed results. So, put the vaccine link back on the table and start to deal with it.
      I am very hopeful that those who have taken the view point that vaccines do not cause autism, because they have been misled, are able to review the information and then aim their dismay in the right direction – at the scientists who lied and the agency and pharmaceutical companies that looked after their own interests above that of the children they purported to serve.

    Excellent report – one of the best on genetics and risk I have ever read. Only one other observation – autism is a label for a wide contiuum of disablity – where as a heart attack is a much more distinct and less variable event. The utility of a risk score for autism would be rather different unless it was able to predict the location on the continuum not merely being somewhere on the continuum. That said – a truly excellent report. Congratulations.

      There is some solid evidence beginning to emerge for biological as well as genetic markers of ASD risk. These surround immune function such as C-reactive protein – an established inflammatory biomarker and urinary p-cresol ( the largest and most widespread source of this compound is represented by some gut bacteria).

      For instance c-reactive protein has been associated with a significant elevated risk for ASD and Schizophrenia focusing on infections and other insults during pregnancy.

  8. EV Treatment Now

    It is likely that the pregnant mothers of these unborn children had an Enterovirus (EV) infection while they were pregnant that created a mutation in the baby's genes. If you ask a mother of an Autisitc child if they were sick while pregnant you would be clamoring for EV Treatment Now to prevent these lifelong illnesses.

    So, since these are common genes, pretty much anyone who chooses to have a baby can get a child with autism. Why didn't we have this much occurrence before if these genes are common? And, PLEASE stop referencing the "village idiot" scenario from colonial times. No one KNOWS they were autistic. It's an impossible to prove HYPOTHESIS. This isn't like they are saying people with blonde hair and blue eyes are more likely to have autistic children, though given that their study group was in Sweden, maybe it is. They are saying "common genes". I still think this is a pathetic effort for how long this has been around. Two weeks ago they said it was pesticide exposure. Two weeks before that it was taking high level of folic acid before getting pregnant and during pregnancy. They have changed their minds so many times about what increases the risk that it's hard to even take them seriously, anymore. "The autism field has changed dramatically"? I don't think so. They still don't have a clue what to do about it.

  10. Timmy Suckle "The Medical Cartel Puppet"

    I kissed my way up to CEO at a health insurance company. Now I take over $1,000,000 of your health care dollars for NO VALUE ADDED to your health care. And that’s just me. Now think about how many other CEOs, VPs, Directors, Managers, etc. are at my company alone. Now multiply that by thousands of others at hundreds of other health insurance companies. From 10 to 25% of your health care dollars go towards administration that adds NO VALUE to your health care. But my company’s PAC dollars will continue to fool you little people into thinking that a single payer system will be bad. Little people like you are so easy to fool. Little people also don’t realize that a single payer system is the ONLY system that would allow little people (as an entire country) to negotiate better health care prices. Little people don’t realize that the Medical Cartels already know that. And that is the reason why the Medical Cartels spend so much PAC money from the hospitals and doctors lobbying against a single payer system. Some little people say that a single payer system would cost you little people more. But if that were true, then wouldn’t the hospitals and doctors WANT that extra money? Yes they would. So why do the Medical Cartels lobby against a single payer system? It’s because the Medical Cartels know it would allow little people to negotiate better health care prices. And that’s what the Medical Cartels are afraid of. Period.
    But us big wigs at insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacy companies don’t ever need to worry about health care no matter what it costs. We get our health care paid for one way or another by you little people. And we get the little people that work at our companies to contribute to our PACs. And us big wigs say it’s to protect the little peoples’ jobs. But in reality it would be in the little peoples’ best interest to NOT contribute to the PAC. Again, little people are so easily fooled. I won’t ever have to worry about losing my job with so many little people being brain washed by the Medical Cartels’ PAC money. Not only that, the Medical Cartels’ PAC money is used to elect so many republicans that will never allow a single payer system. Republicans have always fought against any meaningful health care reform. But that’s what our Medical Cartels’ PACs pay them for. Politicians can be bought so easily.
    Pretty soon the only people that will be able to afford health care is us big wigs. And that’s the way it should be. We don’t want you little people using up the resources when we need them. And once again, I thank you little people for capping my SS tax at the $117,000 level. Now I only pay 1.17% SS tax and you little people pay 6.2%. Also, thank you for extending my tax breaks. I’m using the extra money on my vacation houses.........

    Having read this it gives one cause to ponder on the probability of the following scenario :
    Let's say a couple adopts a new born baby and within the first 18 months everything seems just perfect, but as the months roll on the parents begin to notice the child isn't as "bright", nor as interactive as their neighbor's baby...the question is twofold – Is this due to the baby's environment or simply due to a gene already in his genetic make up or dare i say perhaps both ?

    if autism or whatever runs in the family, either from the mom's or dad's side of the family, don't have kids. in other words don't pass on your genes. one can't gamble with one's genes, especially with a history of illness or disease. even with a risk of 50-50, I say not worth it.

    Autism is genetic. You get it from your parents. Who themselves, may be slightly affected due to their own genetic make-up. They may be "on the spectrum" as it were.

    Is it any wonder that these same parents are the ones responsible for perpetuating all sorts of loony ideas about vaccinations? They are frantically trying to prove this terrible condition did not come from them - and they are doing it with (possibly) diminished ability to understand the real world. These are people who may be genetically set up to be less able to tell when "experts" are leading them on.

    My husband said he is now gay and he dose not love me any more after 4 years that we have been together. I was hurt and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me the contact of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice then to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details and he also told me the items which will be needed in casting the spell which i provided him money to get, after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me back home, then i gave Dr Unity a call regarding the sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me forever, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband are back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Dr Unity for help and you can reach him via Email : Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or call him on +2348072370762"Elizabeth Edward from United States.

    After 11 years of marriage,A very big problem occurred between me and my husband .so terrible that he left me with two kids.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{Unityspelltemple@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past{7}months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children.

    My husband dumped me for a new woman 3 years after our marriage. And i was totally devastated and cried all day and night for aid. My Love life completely turned out to be a mess, because i couldn't just carry on with it anymore.. I was at the point of doing whatever thing that will save my Marriage and make him mine again, because i knew he was my soul mate and i fell deeply in love with him. We were both head over heels and over the moon for one another, and his feelings for me was so strong and he promised me love eternal. Life and pressure got in the way about two weeks before my birthday, And was pressured by his Mother to divorce me, and forced me to sign the divorce papers after seeing the attorney.. For weeks after our divorce he still remained in contacts with me, and after some times he no longer (calls nor texts) anymore. So i had no other choice than to cry out for help to Dr Unity the spell caster i found online, and to my best of luck, he was right presently here in united states.. so he did cast a spell for me and he assured me positive result after 24 hours.. For the first time in 14 months my ex husband did called me for apologies, and he felt so sorry and remorseful for ever leaving me, and he told me how much he love and miss me. And his spells made me so unique in the Sight of my husband, and did open his eyes and made him remember why and how we fell in love in the first place..Thank you for your help! From the depth of my heart of hearts I know we are meant to be. your website truly helped me and brought joy to my life once again. Email: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or call him on: +2348072370762.

    My wife left me because i was always drinking and even when i did everything to bring her back, she refused and told me it was over between us. For months i was helpless and restless because i could not get my wife back so one days as i was doing some research on the internet, i saw many testimonies on how Dr.Unity has helped people with his spell so i immediately contacted him email and today i am very glad that my wife came back to me within 48 hours just as Dr.Unity promised me and now i strongly believe that Dr.Unity is a God on Earth. Do you need help contact him for help via email: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or call him on: +2348072370762.

    Testimony On How My Ex Come Back.
    After being in relationship with George for five years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called DR Mako and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 6pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: Makospelltemple@yahoo.com or call him :+2347054263874.

    How to Help the World's Poor

    Ways to Help the World’s Poor
    Do you want to know some easy ways to help the world’s poor? Well, here are 10 simple ways to help the world’s poor, which can often be done without even having to leave your home!

    1. Donate
    One of the quickest and most obvious ways to help the world’s poor is to donate to charity. Click here to donate to The Borgen Project.

    2. Call Congress
    This way to help the world’s poor is surprisingly simple. Every person in the United States has 3 representatives in Congress (2 Senators and 1 Representative in the House). By calling these 3 peoples’ offices each week, individuals can show the Congressmen the issues that they care about. Calling your Congressmen is a simple process. Generally, an intern will answers the phone, or you can leave a message after hours.

    The message you need to say is simple: “My name is ___, I live in ___, and I want to raise the funding for helping the world’s poor,” or something similar. As few as 7 people calling in can make a Congressman change his mind on a bill: Congressmen want those they are serving in the U.S. to be happy so if you let them know what you want, they are more likely to listen. Go here for more detailed instructions.

    3. Inform Yourself
    This is one of the simplest ways to help the world’s poor, and also it helps you to do the other things more effectively. Basically, all you need to do is stay informed on the issues. Pay attention to what is happening in Congress and read up on current poverty-related events. It may surprise you to find out that poverty has made some great strides in the past few years. Indeed, in the past 20 years, the world’s undernourished has decreased by 50%. Life expectancy has also increased by 1/3.

    (Browse The Borgen Project to find out more interesting facts about poverty).

    4. Build Buzz/Raise Awareness
    Now that you’ve done your research, you can use your new information as tools to build buzz, or to raise the awareness of those around you. If you care about the world’s poor, you can be sure that other people do too, but may just be unaware of how they can help. You can share info on different poverty-fighting organizations with your colleagues, family, and friends (see: 1. Donate for ideas). You can also call in to radio shows, write to editors, speak locally about the cause, send ideas to the media, or anything else that may bring the idea of helping the world’s poor to the forefront of people’s vision and thoughts.

    5. Social Media
    Recently, social media has become one of the most fantastical ways a person can help the world’s poor (among other ventures). This is perhaps the easiest way to help, as well. Many Congressional leaders (your members of Congress) have Facebook pages, Twitters, or websites. All you need to do is either post on their pages to bring up the idea of helping the world’s poor, or post on your own about the various issues. Also, you can easily follow many different organizations, including The Borgen Project, and retweet them or post about them on Facebook or other websites. Overall, your voice will be heard. (The Social Media of Congress can be found here and here). (Also, follow us on Twitter!)

    6. Get Political
    Although you can call Congress, or post on their Facebook pages, there are other ways to help the world’s poor and to “get political.” If you are willing, you can always arrange a meeting with Congressional staffers to tell them what issues (like reducing global poverty) you are interested in. You can also mobilize those around you; just one person calling into Congress will make a difference, but if multiple people in an area call Congress about the same issue and around the same time, there will be a bigger effect. Finally, you can “bird dog” Congress, which means to go to where a legislator is speaking, and ask them publicly about poverty (For example, “What are you doing to help poverty?” or “Will you support helping reduce global poverty?”, etc).

    7. Fundraising
    Another one of the ways to help the world’s poor is fundraising. Contact people about various organizations to donate to, or use sites like Crowd Rise to start a campaign. You can also run marathons or accomplish other feats as a way to raise money, as long as you ask people to be your sponsor. You can also ask for donations to different charities rather than receiving gifts for your birthdays, weddings, or other events.

    8. Be a Consumer with a Cause
    One of the surprising ways to help the world’s poor is simply by being a consumer, or something who buys things. This can be done by buying products from websites that donate a portion of their proceeds to charity, or from nonprofit organizations that sell shirts or other merchandise to help the cause. The Borgen Project even has a Visa Card that has no annual fee, and some unique card designs. Basically, when possible, buy from places that will help the cause.

    9. Arrange Events
    One of the harder ways to help the world’s poor is arranging events. Of course, this does not need to be too difficult: you could host parties (or movie/TV show marathons with your friends!) and have a $5 (suggested donation) to get in. This can be done by living your life as normal, but adding in charity donation so that everyone can get involved. On the other hand, you can also host poverty-based events, or parties with the pure purpose of raising awareness on poverty and discussing its issues. Finally, you can have a “non-event” event, where instead of going out that night, everyone donates a certain amount and stays in.

    10. Volunteer
    Finally, one of the most difficult (but, arguably, most rewarding) ways to help the world’s poor is through volunteering. This can encompass many different things: volunteer for a political campaign, volunteer for a nonprofit organization, volunteer for a movement to fight poverty, or grab an internship. Personally, I am an intern writing for The Borgen Project; I do not get paid, but it helps get the message out to the world. Overall, you can find volunteer opportunities online (for example, through Idealist), but there are also local opportunities that may be available if you ask around.

    To see even more easy ways to help the world’s poor, look here.
