Three separate studies, all published in the journal Nature, have identified several gene mutations, many inherited from fathers, that may play a role in autism. 近日,《自然》杂志上发表的三项独立研究发现,若干从父亲那里继承来的基因突变可能导致自闭症。 There's no one gene that causes autism, but several genetic mutations increase the risk of getting autism, James Sutcliffe, co-author of one study said. 其中一项研究的合著者詹姆斯·萨克利夫称,原本没有任何基因会引发自闭症,然而多个基因突变增加了患自闭症的风险。 |
