Facteurs environnementaux influençant le risque d'autisme

Aperçu: G.M.

En raison des progrès de l'autisme au cours des dernières décennies, un large éventail d'études ont été réalisées pour identifier les facteurs étiologiques de l'autisme. On a constaté que les facteurs génétiques et environnementaux sont tous deux impliqués dans la pathogenèse de l'autisme. Par conséquent, dans cet article de revue, un ensemble de facteurs environnementaux impliqués dans l'apparition de l'autisme a été recueilli et, enfin, des recommandations pratiques pour réduire le risque de cette maladie dévastatrice chez les enfants sont représentées.

Abstract

Autism is a developmental disability with age of onset in childhood (under 3 years old), which is characterized by definite impairments in social interactions, abnormalities in speech, and stereotyped pattern of behaviors. Due to the progress of autism in recent decades, a wide range of studies have been done to identify the etiological factors of autism. It has been found that genetic and environmental factors are both involved in autism pathogenesis. Hence, in this review article, a set of environmental factors involved in the occurrence of autism has been collected, and finally, some practical recommendations for reduction of the risk of this devastating disease in children are represented.
