Did you know that only less than half of people with an autism diagnosis undergo genetic tests?

While current genetic testing may not provide all the answers you're looking for, it's been proved immensely useful in zeroing down on the likely causes, planning effective treatments, and prescribing the right medications.

Genetic testing can be a life-saving screening tool for autism. Some gene changes associated with autism contribute to the risk for other severe disorders. For instance, the PTEN gene implicated in autism is also associated with cancer risk.

Today, screening for autism genes can be done with more than 70% sensitivity, enabling us with powerful information used for autism management and treatment.
