Genetic factors are thought to play a major role in the development of autism – but for decades what they are has proven elusive. Now scientists are starting to uncover clues.

These exchanges appear to balance genetic diversity and stability -- maintaining enough variation for adaptation while preventing incompatibilities that could disrupt reproduction. "The study also ...
