It has long been recognized that autism runs in families, suggesting a substantial genetic component to the disease. Yet few genes have so far been identified and the underlying genetic architecture of autism – that is, how many genes contribute and to what extent they influence a person’s chances of developing the disorder – remains poorly understood.
