Scientists at UC San Francisco may have discovered a new way to test for autism by measuring how children’s eyes move when they turn their heads.

Scientists link disruption of a sensitive eye reflex to profound autism, creating opportunities for faster diagnosis and new treatment. Scientists at UC San Francisco may have discovered a new way to test for autism by measuring how children’s eyes move when they turn their heads. They found that kids who carry a variant of a gene that is associated with severe autism are hypersensitive to this motion. The gene, SCN2A, makes an ion channel that is found throughout the brain, including ...
