Here’s what we know: A groundbreaking study from Mount Sinai reveals that autism risk genes are largely shared across all ancestries, meaning the core genetic architecture of autism is universal. This suggests that the biological basis of autism isn’t tied to any specific ancestral group. Researchers identified 230 new genes linked to autism, reinforcing that genetic risk factors are consistent globally.

This is huge because it confirms that autism’s underlying biology operates similarly across diverse populations, which could lead to more inclusive diagnostic tools and treatments. If you’re interested in genetic testing, Autism Speaks has resources on how it can guide interventions.
