Doubling of Y Chromosome Linked to Increased Autism Risk in Males
Oct 18, 2024, 10:19 AM
Researchers have discovered a significant link between the Y chromosome and an increased risk of autism, particularly in males.

This finding may explain the higher prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in males. The doubling of the Y chromosome doubles the risk of autism.
