Father's Genetics Found to Play Significant Role in Autism Development

A new study suggests that siblings with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may share more of their father's genome, contrary to long-standing beliefs that they share more of their mother's genome. The investigation involved the analysis of over 6,000 volunteer families' genomes, revealing a potential new source of ASD. Further research may yield new strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of autism.
