Dr. Christopher Badcock and Professor Bernard Crespi propose that autism has been developed through “imbalances in brain development involving enhanced effects of paternally expressed imprinted genes, deficits of effects from maternally expressed genes, or both.” [...] [...] Epigenetics News provides a succinct overview of a “mini-review” from the The Journal of Evolutionary Biology that proposes a new evolutionary theory for the aetiology of autism, Imbalanced genomic imprinting in brain development: an evolutionary basis for the aetiology of autism.
