There is no clear evidence yet that autism is inherited from a paternal gene, and that autism is not a monogenic disorder, but a multifactorial inheritance that is not related to a single factor . , the pathogenesis of autism has not yet been clarified.
Germline mutations can occur at the time of germ cell formation in the parents, for example, mutations on the father’s side of the gene play an important role in neurodevelopmental abnormalities, and as the father gets older, the higher the rate of autism in the child.
However, the role of genetic factors, the function of susceptibility genes and how abnormal expression affects brain development, and how genetic and environmental factors interact to cause the disease are not yet fully understood, and further research is needed. We can only say that there is still a certain relationship with genetic factors.
The current clinical consensus is that genetics plays an important role in the development of autism, but it is not the only factor. In addition to heredity, autism is also related to other factors, such as the structure and function of the brain, as well as the early years of the mother’s adverse encounters during pregnancy and childbirth, such as viral infections during pregnancy, and other factors, may also lead to autism.
When suffering from autism, one should go to regular hospitals in time to receive standardized treatment and rehabilitation training, so as to reduce the impact on social functioning.
