Gene X Environment Interactions in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Role of Epigenetic Mechanisms

Several studies support currently the hypothesis that autism etiology is based on a polygenic and epistatic model. However, despite advances in epidemiological, molecular and clinical genetics, the genetic risk factors remain difficult to identify, with the exception of a few chromosomal disorders a...
