children of older mothers and whose children were born of born of buttocks bend the possibility of developing diseases of the spectrum of Autism researchers of. Studies confirm the thesis that much of autism has a genetic basis.

Dr. Deborah Bilder, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Utah School of medicine said:

A child that is born breech has double the risk of developing autism than other who was not born breech ” in women over 35 years the risk of having a child with autism is a 1.6 times higher and the children born of these women and buttocks 1.8 times higher. According to researchers from more than 30 women need not worry by these genetic factors, but if they can be useful to determine the cause of autism, because they suggest a clear potential genetic. there is no doubt that autism is related to the inheritance, according to the researchers are many families with autism, especially in Utah, where families are larger ”. Apart from the genetic cause are trying to determine also whether there is any cause environmental.

The principal investigator, Dr. Deborah Bilder

does not believe that women age or birth of buttocks is the cause of this autism the implication of this study reveals that there is a prenatal factor causing the birth of buttocks, and which in turn is related to the development of autism, as it could be a not equal neuromuscular development ”. East prenatal factor ” might imply a genetic or environmental development.

To Dr. Eugene r. Hershorin, clinical Pediatrics at the University of Miami associate profesore raised questions with regard to the conclusions reached to the study:

the problem with these findings is not knowing what to do with them, which is the cause and effect? if you are going to be autistic going to be born breech? or is born breech may have an influence when it comes to have autism? ”
