Yes. There is a link, but this does not mean it causes autism. However, there are some aspects of chromosome 1 that make it of interest in autism research. They do not describe it as causing autism, but instead as an autism susceptibility gene.

What can an extra chromosome do?
Yes, it is possible to have XXX, XXY, or XYY sex chromosomes.
What is nondisjunction in chromosomes and what is the result?
Nondisjunction is the addition or deletion of an entire chromosome. The result could be autism or downs syndrome
What is chromosome 22 responsible for?
Chromosome 22 contains about 693 genes. Some are:gene to produce immunoglobulingene to make neurofilamentsgene for light chains of antibodiesDamaged genes can cause:Schizophreniabilateral acoustic neuroma (hearing loss)22q13 deletion syndrome (autism)Breast canceramyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)neurofibromatosis
What does deletion chromosome consists of?
There is no 'deletion chromosome'. You mean chromosome deletion, and it is a phenomenon where a chromosome disappears from cell's genetic layout.
What chromosome does tay-sachs disease affect?
chromosome 17 The correct answer is chromosome 15
What can an extra chromosome do?
Yes, it is possible to have XXX, XXY, or XYY sex chromosomes.
What gene and chromosome is mutated in autism?
Most studies focus on autism or autism spectrum disorders, rather than Asperger's Syndrome specifically. More than one chromosome is linked to autism spectrum disorders. The chromosomes involved according to various studies are listed below. A few sites providing information on the genetics of autism highlight results about several of the chromosomes: Exploring Autism: A Look at the Genetics of Autism Autism is Likely to Be Linked to Several Genes There are also articles that could be available through your library's electronic database subscriptions or available in journal form from an academic library. Some hospitals also subscribe to electronic databases with medical information and allow public access.

Do people with autism have babies?
Most autistic people are capable of reproducing, unless they have a complex chromosome deficiency, such as males having 2 X chromosomes or females having 3 or more X chromosomes.
How do you spell Autism ?
autism
What is infantile autism?
Infantile Autism is when a baby or toddler (an Infant) has autism.
What is adult autism?
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
Is autism biological?
Biologial. Autism is neurodevelopmental. There are hereditary and genetic ties to autism.
Do jedward have autism?

Does Macy Gray have Autism?
