Autism father effect - Calcutta study finds possible cause http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070125/asp/frontpage/story_7308461.asp G.S. MUDUR New Delhi, Jan. 24: In the first study of the genetics of autism in India, scientists in Calcutta have

found that some fathers may transfer a version of a gene that makes their children susceptible to autism. The researchers at the Manovikas Biomedical Research and Diagnostic Centre and other city institutions have found what they describe as a “possible paternal effect” that may underlie susceptibility to autism — a brain disorder marked by unusual behaviour and lack of communication abilities. The scientists caution that their finding is based on a small sample of autistic children and will need to be verified through larger studies. “We don’t want anyone to jump to conclusions about a paternal role in autism, but this study raises issues that need to be explored further,” said Swagata Sinha, a psychiatrist at the Manovikas Centre and a member of the research team. “We’re seeking clues to unravel the cause of autism — this is important for science and for parents with autistic children. Every parent wants to know the exact cause. And, at the moment, we have no answer to give them,” Sinha told The Telegraph. The findings have been published this month in the journal American Journal of Medical Genetics: Neuropsychiatric Genetics. Medical researchers have long suspected that autism is a multiple gene disorder with several genes and perhaps other unknown factors in the environment leading to the disorder. “But it is also a highly heritable disorder — it can run in families,” said Usha Rajamma, a geneticist and principal investigator in the study. The Calcutta researchers analysed sequences of a gene called reelin ina group of 73 autistic children and 80 children with no neurologicaldisorders as well as their parents who volunteered for the study. Six years ago, scientists in Italy had shown that reelin may have a role in susceptibility to autism. “The reelin gene is known to play a role in the development of thebrain and has been suspected to be a candidate gene involved inautism,” Rajamma said. When Rajamma and her colleagues analysed reelin sequences in a group of 58 autistic children and their parents, they detected what they have described as “significant paternal transmission” of a particular variant of reelin. “The reelin variant we’ve observed is very common in India, but byitself, it does not lead to autism,” Rajamma said. Autism is a multi-factor disorder and only when the right combination of all the susceptibility genes and the environmental factors are present does a person get autism, she said. While there are no statistics from India, international studies suggest that 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people have autism, indicating that India may have nearly two million autistic persons."When it comes to understanding disease process and the true nature of what a real healing process is, modern medicine sadly lingers in ignorance. The pathetic thing is that this ignorance is promoted, fed

and maintained by the profit motive. I realize that modern medicine is a business and not a healing art. Health and healing is bad for business." - Comment on a medical forum.

UH...GEE, CAN YOU SAY VACINE??? WHAT THE F### is wrong with people??

It is quite clear that the mercury in the vacines is poisoning their

young brains. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Yes! Vaccines are bad but I don't have Autism and I was vaccinated, neither

do any of my family members and they were vaccinated, so yes there might be

something that makes some of us more susceptible to autism. I did choose

not to vaccinate my children, not just because of autism, there are many

reasons. Obviously something else is happening besides vaccines. Thanks

Moderator's Note- I saw today where flu shots are becoming mandatory for kids to

attend school!

--------------

 

The problem is not vaccines alone, it's the # of vaccines and how

much it has gone up since 1980. Children before age 2 are now to have

12 vaccines, the first of which is given on day 2 after birth at the

hospital (HepB vaccine). By age 5 the # of shots they are supposed to

have is 38. That and add the many other things that contain mercury

like Rhogam shots if mom is given for RH- blood which contain 25 mgm

of mercury (thimerosal), Pitocin shots to speed up labor, mom's

amalgams, the fact that mom is already MMR vaccinated and might

harbor the measels virus and pass it on to the child in vitro. That

compounded with all the mercury pollution in the air, water, food

(mom eating lots of tuna, and other fish while pregnant.) I remember

when I was pregnant the hospital nutritionist said to eat a lot of

fish, it was a great protein, since I was craving tuna, I ate lots of

it. I also have some amalgams. When my son was born, by the time he

had his second DPT shot, he started having a very bad reaction to the

vaccine (extremely high fever (106), the sight of the vaccine became

swollen, red and very hot to the touch, febrile seizures. When I

called the pediatrician, he said 'oh that's a normal reaction some

kids have'. Being stupid and compliant, I believed him and continued

on this mad vaccination schedule. By the third DPT my son was having

severe ear infections, he became allergic to all formulas, it was

hard to find something to feed him. The MMR completely did him in,

his gut was a mess with chronic diahrea, and nothing helped him for

over 2 years. By age 4 he was diagnosed with autism, speech delay

and MR. This was 15 years ago, they've added more vaccines to the

schedule since then, it's totally insane. No wonder autism rates

have gone through the roof (1 in 166 according to the CDC). In Texas

the # has risen 498% in the past 10 years, in California the # has

risen over 1000%.

I concur. In addition, I had read there may be a connection between frequent

doses of antibiotics due to ear infections, tylenol given to reduce the

temperatures, and the getting of vaccinations within 3 weeks either diretion of

ear infections.

 

My twins had severe and ongoing ear infections and tonsillitis until they

were two. They were on antibiotics most of those first two years. They also

got their vaccinations on time as I was being such a good mom. Well, they both

developed Asperger's Syndrome (high functioning autism). They are now 21.

 

They still live at home. They cannot take care of themselves enough to live

elsewhere. Maybe they will be able to do so in another several years. They

know they have difficulties and that relationships don't happen. They hurt

because of this, too. And I hurt watching my boys suffer with loneliness when

they want so much to have friends and especially a girlfriend.

 

Would I vaccinate again? Not on your life.

 

 

Sharon and the menagerie, 14 birds, 3 dogs (including poodle pup), 1 cat (mad

that we have poodle pup), lots of raw foods, limited vaccinations!

My mother, myself, my daughter all have autism(non-verbal learning

disorder) so I know it's hereditary.

It's true too. I have Asperger's syndrome. Got if from my father.
