Heritability of autism spectrum disorders: a meta-analysis of twin studies.

Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines - 1 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been recently debated due to emerging findings on the importance of shared environmental influences. However, two recent twin studies do not support this and instead re-affirm strong genetic effects on the liability to ASD, a finding consistent with previous reports. This study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis of all twin studies of ASD...
