Broader autism phenotype: evidence from a family history study of multiple-incidence autism families.
OBJECTIVE Studies of families ascertained through a single autistic proband suggest that the genetic liability for autism may be expressed in nonautistic relatives in a phenotype that is milder but qualitatively similar to the defining features of autism. The objective of this study was to examine behaviors that may define this broader phenotype in relatives ascertained through two autistic sib...
متن کاملThe broad autism phenotype in parents of individuals with autism: a systematic review of the literature.
The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a milder manifestation of the defining symptoms of the syndrome in individuals without autism. This study conducted a systematic review of studies about behavioral characteristics of interpersonal relationships, communication and rigidity, as well as about three cognitive models, Theory of Mind, central coherence and executive function, in parents of individu...
متن کاملThe Neuropsychological Profile of Autism and The Broad Autism Phenotype
Context—There now exist multiple reports of a constellation of language, personality, and socialbehavioral features present among relatives that mirror the symptom domains of autism, but much milder in expression. Studies of this ‘broad autism phenotype’ (BAP) may provide a potentially important, complementary approach for detecting the genes causing autism and defining associated neural circui...
متن کاملDefining the broader, medium and narrow autism phenotype among parents using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)
BACKGROUND The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a self-report questionnaire for quantifying autistic traits. This study tests whether the AQ can differentiate between parents of children with an autism spectrum condition (ASC) and control parents. In this paper, the use of the AQ to define the broader, medium and narrow autism phenotypes (BAP, MAP, NAP) is reported, and the proportion of parent...
متن کاملNeuropsychological profile of autism and the broad autism phenotype.
CONTEXT Multiple articles describe a constellation of language, personality, and social-behavioral features present in relatives that mirror the symptom domains of autism, but are much milder in expression. Studies of this broad autism phenotype (BAP) may provide a potentially important complementary approach for detecting the genes causing autism and defining associated neural circuitry by ide...
