Baker, Peggy; Piven, Joseph; Sato, Yutaka
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v28 n4 p279-85 Aug 1998
A study investigated the incidence of autism in 20 patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The prevalence of autistic disorder was conservatively estimated at 20%. Data suggest a possible association between both hypsarrythmia and TSC-related cardiac abnormalities with autism in this subgroup of individuals with TSC. (Author/CR)
