[ASD Related Information] Genetic Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

There are genetic syndromes caused by changes in a single gene. At this time, ASD may be accompanied. Having this genetic problem does not mean that all of you become ASD, but it means that you are more likely to develop ASD. Let's take a look at some of the genetic syndromes associated with ASD

1. Vulnerable X Syndrome

Vulnerable X syndrome is a genetic problem that invades the X chromosome and is therefore inherited by the mother. It is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability in boys. Boys are affected much more severely than girls because they have only one X chromosome. Boys with vulnerable X syndrome exhibit unique physical characteristics, such as very large heads and ears, and very large testicles after puberty. They may also exhibit symptoms of weak muscles and loose joints. Up to 50% of people with vulnerable X syndrome are accompanied by ASD. If your child has ASD and has intellectual disabilities or overall developmental delays, exhibits physical characteristics of vulnerable X syndrome, or has a history of intellectual disabilities in your family, you should check for vulnerable X syndrome.
