Investigation of risk factors for autism spectrum disorder in children with tuberous sclerosis complex
Key Points
Autism spectrum disorder is notably prevalent in children with tuberous sclerosis complex, indicating a significant correlation with genetic mutations.
Around 40% of children with tuberous sclerosis complex are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, highlighting an urgent public health concern.
Observational analysis reveals specific genetic mutations linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder.
Identifying these risk factors may enable earlier diagnosis and targeted interventions for affected children.
