Re: Questions re Autism and Genetic Testing

[Guest guest]

hi XeX,I sent a post few days ago about genetic test called (Array Comparative Genome Hybridization)which I made in my country (in the Middle East)., its a blood test.the result came out with partial deletion of sections in chromosome no 15, which associated with the Gaba amino acid producing gene.. (I think almost ASD children has deficiancy in GABA right?)I sent the result to genetic-engineering dr but no response.One of the practioner in USA (who cure autism by killing pathogens )told me it's the viral infectioncaused by vaccines triggered this gene mutation bc my son was NT before the shots.pls if

any one has more info to help us here.thank you.Lina To: MB12Valtrex Yahoo Group <mb12valtrex > Sent: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 2:10 PM Subject: Questions re

Autism and Genetic Testing

Dear All,I have two questions, one related to genetic testing, the other to autism symptoms.1) I read some of you mentioning genetic testing you had done. My DAN doctor (Dr. Compain, at Rhinebeck Health Center, NY - who works with Dr Bock) once mentioned some genetic testings, but said they were very new and the results too complex to interpret correctly, so he thought it was not worth it doing it.So I was wondering where and how you did it, and if you found it worth it... Can anyone give me your opinion on that?2) My daughter who has autism is now 6 YO. Until she was 30 months old she had no apparent symptoms. But my sister has a daughter who is now 20 months old and she has been showing developing delays since she was 6 to 8 months old... The most important one is in her eyes. She has "low eye muscle tone" or something similar. Her eyes are kind of "loose", they go way too much to the

sides (both together to the same side, not crossed), and when she turns her head to look at something, her eyes take a while longer to turn in the same direction as her head...She has some other motor delays too... she is not walking yet either.I don't know much more details because she lives in another country and I don't see her often.But my question is: have anyone saw or hear about "eye muscle low tone" or any eye problems in children with autism?She is too little yet to have a diagnose of autism, here in South America usually they wait until baby is at least 24 months. But she did a lot of genetic testings for other diseases and everything came out negative. I look at her pictures and see a baby who never smiles (to the camara at least!), she has this serious, "lost in her own World" expression that make me think it might be autism...Any thoughts?Thank you all!!! Sorry for such a

long message!!Love,XexaEnviado desde mi BlackBerry de Personal (http://www.personal.com.ar/)------------------------------------

Does your sisters child have a large head compared to most children her age?

Xexa:Most of the countries do a possible autism diagnossis until 18 months and up. Diagnossis has a global method (most of countries uses that)based on DSM-IV, V, is recommended that a psicologist specialized on autism do that evaluation. A neurologist or a pediatrician might not to be the suitable person.Genetic testings, i'd prefer take more time in order to know better the child. The centerpoint in autism is not genetical issues, however is a key part in this disease. Those test detects a minimum part in 1 to 88, so that shows enviroment factors has a big weight. Until now we know these tests:-X fragil sindrome (only for boys)-Yasko's test (too expensive you may study benefits/cost, but it checks metylations issues by mutations)-Nutrigenomic test (is related to food allergies and sensibilities to some materials for daily uses)Now i remmember these, sorry if i forgot it some of them, anyway time is precious, tell to your sister do an ATEC test, is free, easy and online, look on www.autism.com.Enviado desde mi dispositivo BlackBerry® de Orange.From: Wordinedge@...Sender: mb12valtrex Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 07:56:07 -0500 (EST)To: <mb12valtrex >ReplyTo: mb12valtrex Subject: Re: Questions re Autism and Genetic Testing Does your sisters child have a large head compared to most children her age?

Hi Xexa,

I had a genetics test called chromosomal microarray anaysis (CMA) done on my son which is considered the gold standard test. It screens for over 60 genetic conditions including Fragile X and Retts. Autism was actually listed among the conditions screened for so perhaps they were looking for a mutation associated with autism. My son's resutls came back "normal" per the lab report.

Was it worth it? yes. I am actually glad I had it done because it confirms to me that my son and the majority of the kids who are dxed with autism today had an environmental (toxic) exposure leading to an autistic regression and that his autism is not due to his genes. It answers the genetics question for me b/c I would still be questioning this if I did not have the genetic information.

Since my son had the genetics test was done in 2006, I think mutations and duplications have been discovered in children with autism but these are just risk factors not the cause. There have also been "denovo" mutations discovered in children with autism DNA that are not present in either parent. I am very curious as to what would cause a denovo mutation.

I think most cases of autism today are epigenetic- meaning envirnmentally triggered.
