Article Synopsis
- Behavioral issues are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome and may resemble those seen in autism, prompting a study that used standardized autism diagnostic tools to evaluate affected individuals.
- In a study of 64 individuals with CHARGE syndrome, 28% were diagnosed with autism, while 54% met criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting a continuum of autistic traits within this group.
- The study found no specific risk factors for ASD, but highlighted a negative correlation between autism diagnostic scores and adaptive functioning, indicating that children with greater sensory differences and certain physical anomalies are more likely to have behavioral disorders.
