The present estimates of relative recurrence risks for autism spectrum disorder and childhood autism will assist clinicians and families in understanding autism risk
Based on population data from 5 countries, the heritability of ASD was estimated to be approximately 80%
Here we investigate these features in an animal model related to autism spectrum disorder - the DVD-deficient rat
