Autism and Genes

In 1997, the NICHD and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)started the Network on the Neurobiology and Genetcis of Autism: Collaborative Programs of Excellence in Autism (CPEA). Researchers in this Network work to understand which genes might be involved in autism and how genes play a role in the condition. Working with other sceientists around the world, the CPEA researchers have already learned a great deal about austim and genes.
