Summary

Diagnosing autism involves behavioral criteria, as no biological test exists. However, 11-37% of autism cases are syndromic, linked to identifiable genetic or metabolic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Genetics and epigenetics of autism
  • Syndromic autism

Context:

  • Autism diagnosis relies on behavioral criteria, lacking a definitive biological marker.
  • A significant proportion of autism cases (11-37%) are associated with specific genetic syndromes or underlying medical conditions.
  • Syndromic autism, or 'double diagnoses,' highlights the interplay between autism and other identifiable diseases.

Purpose:

  • To provide guidance for diagnosing autistic children.
  • To rationalize the diagnostic process by identifying and ruling out underlying conditions.
  • To elucidate the etiological aspects of syndromic autism and its biological underpinnings.

Summary:

  • This review focuses on the diagnosis of autism, emphasizing the identification of syndromic cases.
  • It explores the link between autism and various conditions, including genetic, metabolic, neurological, and environmental factors.
  • Understanding these associations aids in comprehending the biological basis of autism.

Impact:

  • Facilitates a more accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
  • Improves clinical management by identifying treatable underlying causes.
  • Contributes to a deeper understanding of autism's complex etiology and biological mechanisms.
