Perinatal risk factors for infantile autism
TLDR
Intrauterine and neonatal factors related to deviant intrauterine growth or fetal distress are important in the pathogenesis of autism, according to a study nested within a population-based cohort.Abstract:
Background. Etiologic hypotheses in infantile autism suggest a strong genetic component, as well as possible environmental risks linked to early fetal development. We evaluated the association of m ...read more

TL;DR: Future epidemiologic research should focus on expanding population-based descriptive data on ASDs, exploring candidate risk factors in large well-designed studies incorporating both genetic and environmental exposure data and addressing possible etiologic heterogeneity in studies that can stratify case groups and consider alternate endophenotypes.

TL;DR: Results suggest that prenatal environmental factors and parental psychopathology are associated with the risk of autism, and these factors seem to act independently.

TL;DR: There was a significant monotonic association between advancing paternal age and risk of ASD and possible biological mechanisms include de novo mutations associated with advancing age or alterations in genetic imprinting.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that autism is under a high degree of genetic control and suggest the involvement of multiple genetic loci.

Intrauterine growth curves based on ultrasonically estimated foetal weights.
TL;DR: New growth curves are presented based on data from four Scandinavian centres for 759 ultrasonically estimated foetal weights in 86 uncomplicated pregnancies, revealing better the true distribution of SGA foetuses and neonates and are suggested for use in perinatological practice.
