SPOKANE, Washington, Jan. 16 -- Washington State University-Tri-Cities issued the following news release:
Scientists have long tried to pin down the causes of autism spectrum disorder. Recent studies have expanded the search for genetic links from identifying genes toward epigenetics, the study of factors that control gene expression and looks at chemical modifications of DNA and the proteins associated with it.
The challenge is knowing where to look, given that our gen . . .
