Inheritance patterns and prenatal diagnosis
Inheritance patterns
It seems likely that genetic factors are similar to those in autism, but refer to inheritance of an autism spectrum disorder rather than PDA specifically. Thus perhaps six per cent of children with PDA are known to have a sibling with either PDA or autism/Asperger. Preliminary research is currently underway.
Prenatal diagnosis
None at present.
How is it diagnosed?
| Is there support?
