Webinar: The Future of SPARK and Autism Research
In this recorded webinar, Dr. Wendy Chung provides an overview of the SPARK study and where autism research is headed.
Learn MoreBecause of SPARK and other research studies throughout the world, we are rapidly learning how genes affect our biology and development. We are also learning how changes to some genes can lead to autism. Read about the latest research on autism genetics and visit with people who have learned about a genetic change associated with their autism.
