NEW YORK – By analyzing numerous types of genetic and health-related data, researchers have uncovered a previously unrecognized subtype of autism spectrum disorder.
In a new study, researchers from the US and Israel examined whether a precision medicine approach that relies on various streams of data could help unearth distinct subtypes of autism spectrum disorder. ASD, which affects 1 in 54 children in the US, is both clinically and genetically heterogeneous.
