Prolongation of Brainstem Auditory-Evoked Responses in Autistic Probands and Their Unaffected Relatives
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Brain function, as indexed by brain electrical activity, is heritable in humans, and it may be impaired in autism. Autism also has strong genetic determinants, and like all major psychiatric disorders, its complex clinical phenotype renders genetic studies difficult. Innovative strategies focused on alternative biological phenotypes are needed.
