New Discoveries in Autism Subtypes and Genetic Markers

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified four clinically distinct groups of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based on brain activity and behavior, using machine learning to analyze neuroimaging data. The study's findings offer new insights into the condition and could lead to improved diagnosis and personalized treatments for ASD. By identifying subgroups within ASD, it may be possible to assign individuals to therapies that are best suited to their specific needs.
