...genetic defects identified in the Middle Eastern families were not in the business part of the gene - the part that codes for a critical brain protein. Instead the defects lay mainly in adjacent regions that turn the gene fully or partially on and off.

In fact, Morrow suspects that early intervention programs for children with autism involving intensive instruction in speech and social behavior may work by altering...

Overnutrition prior to adolescence may affect the hormonal system and may produce too much growth hormone prior to puberty, so that sex steroids are produced earlier. And if that comes too early, then the youth will peak out sooner...
