Resumen

El autismo es un trastorno generalizado del desarrollo caracterizado por alteraciones en diferentes dominios: interacción social, lenguaje y comunicación, y conducta, con un patrón estereotipado y/o restringido de intereses y actividad. Aunque aún se desconoce mucho sobre la etiopatogenia de esta entidad clinica, los estudios epidemiológicos, familiares y de gemelos han resaltado la importancia de los factores genéticos. Numerosos estudios en las dos últimas décadas indican que el autismo podría estar producido por diferentes alteraciones genéticas que provocarían un desarrollo anormal del cerebro. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar los hallazgos de los estudios genéticos así como las principales hipótesis acerca de los factores neuroquímicos implicados en la etiología del autismo.
