Parents - I hope you will participate in the Autism Speaks Genome-mapping program. Google plans to put the information in the cloud so more researchers can have access to this information.
This gene study was done on heart disease and was found helpful. So far all the research has shown is that there isn't just one form of autism.
So when researchers come to your house, please participate. This particular research is called AUT1OK and will be available to all researchers to sign the standard research agreement.
There is also a similar program going on withe Alzheimer's research where five universities have sequenced 580 genomes.
This takes so much storage space so going to the cloud with Google should help everyone.
