Genes

This study did not provide good evidence that selecting patients with similar symptoms results in a greater ability to find autism genes. (…) It is important to note that these results are in alignment with the recent major change to autism's diagnostic classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In its 5th revision, several separate disorders, which included autism and Asperger's disorder, were grouped into a single category termed autism spectrum disorder.
