PMID 39407327WHAT IT FOUND
This paper analyzes genetic data to separate autism-specific biological markers from those shared with ADHD.
It reports no clinical trials, patient outcomes, or therapeutic interventions, so there is nothing here to change daily therapy practice.
What this paper is
This is a statistical genetics study analyzing genome-wide association summary data to identify biological pathways unique to autism spectrum disorder. It does not involve patient participants, clinical interventions, or therapeutic outcomes. There are no findings here that can directly change physical, occupational, or speech-language therapy practice.
