Gwenyth Jackaway never imagined donor could pass autism genetically to son Her son, Dylan, two other kids connected to Donor-X are autistic
Expert says genetic component, environmental trigger linked to autism
Since autism discovery, Donor X samples are no longer available for reproduction.
This is so sad. Glad they discovered the problem though

It would make a certain degree of sense for there to be a genetic basis or predisposition for Autism. I wonder if they will be able to identify a guilty gene here or something? It might also be a fluke. You have to understand, odds and probabilities in such a small sample size would not be statistically relevant, I think.
