title: [Genetic aspects of infantile autism].
abstract: The cause of infantile austism is as yet unknown. However, many studies have addressed the possibility of genetic transmission. Although a chromosomal abnormality has been outruled, an increasing number of studies in families and twins have shown that at least some symptoms of infantile autism may be transmitted genetically. However, up till now, transmission modalities and the exact nature of what is transmitted are unsure.
