Dopaminergic variants in siblings at high risk for autism: Associations with initiating joint attention.

Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research - 1 Nov 2016

Gangi Devon N, Messinger Daniel S, Martin Eden R, Cuccaro Michael L

Abstract excerpt

Younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; high-risk siblings) exhibit lower levels of initiating joint attention (IJA; sharing an object or experience with a social partner through gaze and/or gesture) than low-risk siblings of children without ASD. However, high-risk siblings also exhibit substantial variability in this domain. The neurotransmitter dopamine is linked to brain areas...
