    • Abstract:
      The article discusses research that examined the genetic aspect of autism. It references a study by N. Fliesler published in the July 10, 2008 issue of "Harvard Science: Medicine+Health." Autism is reportedly classified as a form of pervasive developmental disorder (PPD). Researchers established a collaborative network called the Homozygosity Mapping Collaborative for Autism (HMCA) in the Middle East and Eurasia, which included data from consanguineous families with autistic children.
