The Heritability of Autism Spectrum Disorder - PMC
Studies have found that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aggregates in families, and twin studies estimate the proportion of the phenotype variance due to genetic factors (heritability) to be about 90%.
Heritability of autism - Wikipedia
The heritability of autism is the proportion of differences in expression of autism that can be explained by genetic variation; if the heritability of a condition is high, then the condition is considered to be primarily genetic. Autism has a strong genetic basis.
Genetic Causes and Modifiers of Autism Spectrum Disorder
ASD is highly genetically heterogeneous and may be caused by both inheritable and de novo gene variations. In the past decade, hundreds of genes have been identified that contribute to the serious deficits in communication, social cognition, and behavior that patients often experience.
Genetic contributions to autism spectrum disorder - PMC
Overall, methylomic studies of autism provide increasing evidence that common genetic risk variants of autism may alter DNAm across tissues, and that the epigenetic dysregulation of neuronal processes can contribute to the development of autism.
Autism heritability: It probably does not mean what you think it …
2020年1月7日 · The question of autism’s heritability is compelling for researchers and laypeople alike, but many people in both groups misunderstand its definition. Heritability is defined as the proportion of variation in a condition that is attributable to variation in genetics.

2016年4月5日 · In the last 30 years, twin studies have indicated a strong genetic contribution to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The heritability of ASD is estimated to be 50 %, mostly captured by still unknown common variants.
Heritability of autism spectrum disorders: a meta-analysis of twin ...
We demonstrate that: (a) ASD is due to strong genetic effects; (b) shared environmental effects become significant as a function of lower prevalence rate; (c) previously reported significant shared environmental influences are likely a statistical artefact of overinclusion of …
