It is characterized by the presence of social communication deficits and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. ASD has a strong genetic component and there is evidence in support of many putative risk genes. However, the genetics and the biological processes underlying the disease are still incompletely understood and will require the integration of intermediate phenotypic analysis provided by direct observation tools such as brain imaging.engAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)Perturbações do Desenvolvimento Infantil e Saúde MentalAutismoconference object
