[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. From what I read, Integragen test examines 65 genetic markers. This number, of course, may increase in future. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120404006131/en/IntegraGen-Launches-ARISk%E2%84%A2-Test-Genetic-Screening-Tool#.VApKNPldXpU And yes, like most other tests, this test too would have its own limitations. [/quote] I hadn't heard of it, but I read some of their information. And based on it, I don't see that much good can come of it. It can only show in the most extreme case a 2-4x increased probability vs. a sibling of someone with autism. So it sounds like it will give everyone something to worry about but it won't give anybody the comfort of knowing one way or the other.[/quote]
