Pervasive Developmental Disorder and Obstetric Complications in Children and Adolescents with Tuberous Sclerosis.
Park, Rebecca J.; Bolton, Patrick F.
Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v5 n3 p237-48 Sep 2001
This study investigated the role of obstetric complications in determining phenotypic manifestations in tuberous sclerosis (TS), a disorder associated with autism spectrum disorders. Comparison of 43 children with TS and 40 unaffected siblings found children with TS experienced more obstetric complications, but these were related to mild rather than severe adversities including autism spectrum disorders and severe mental retardation.
