'''Syndromic autism''' (or '''syndromic autism spectrum disorders''') denotes cases of [[autism spectrum disorder]] that are associated with a broader [[medical condition]], generally a [[syndrome]]. Cases without such association, which account for the majority of total autism cases, are known as ''non-syndromic autism'' (or ''non-syndromic autism spectrum disorders'').

Latest revision as of 17:38, 1 October 2024

Syndromic autism (or syndromic autism spectrum disorders) denotes cases of autism spectrum disorder that are associated with a broader medical condition, generally a syndrome. Cases without such association, which account for the majority of total autism cases, are known as non-syndromic autism (or non-syndromic autism spectrum disorders).

Studying the differences and similarities (e.g. common pathways) between syndromic and non-syndromic cases can provide insights about the pathophysiology of autism and pave the way to new autism therapies.[1][2][3][4]

Syndromic autism

[edit]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is referred to as syndromic when it is one of the many characteristics associated with a broader medical condition, generally a syndrome.

Syndromic autism represents about 25% of the total ASD cases.[4][5] In most[quantify] cases, its etiology is known.[2][4]

Monogenic disorders are one of the causes of syndromic autism, which in this case are also known as monogenic autism spectrum disorders. They account for about 5% of the total ASD cases.

Certain[which?] syndromic forms of ASD can also have different[compared to?] phenomenology.[clarification needed]

Non-syndromic autism

[edit]

Non-syndromic autism, also called classic autism or idiopathic autism (as in most cases, the etiology is unknown), represents the majority of total autism cases.

In most[quantify] cases, its cause is polygenic.[citation needed]

Classification

[edit]

A 2017 study[relevant?] proposed to replace the classification "syndromic"/"non-syndromic" ASD into one based on the genetic etiology of the condition, specifying if the syndromic condition occurs in the context of a "phenotype first" clinically defined syndrome or from a "genotype first" molecularly defined syndrome.[4][clarification needed]

Following the proposal, ASD would be divided into three genetic categories:[4]

Clinically defined

[edit]

Syndromes recognized by clinicians (depending on their experience), typically confirmed by a targeted genetic testing.

Molecularly defined

[edit]

Syndromes recognized by genome-wide testing, not by hypothesis-driven testing (since clinical recognition is difficult).

Currently undefined

Currently undefined.[clarification needed]
