Scientists at 11 Boston-area institutions, including MIT and the Broad Institute, will use new tools to analyze DNA samples from thousands of autistic people and their families. It is expected to be the largest search to date for the genetic causes of autism and may yield candidate genes in as little as six months. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://cl.exct.net/?ffcb10-fe631c737364017d7116-fdf11573716d04787c1d7376-ff011674776105 " target="blank">cl.exct.net/?ffcb10-fe631c737364017d7116-fdf11573716d04787c1d7376-ff011674776105 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
