What is not reported is that the gene was found in exactly two cases out of the several thousand cases involved in the study. Both cases were from the same family. The findings on chromosome 11 were considered to be suggestive. I have to hand it to the polygenic theorists, they certainly have mastered spinning their findings in the media. Not reported in the media is that genetic variances on both chromosome 2 and chromosome 11 have also been found to increase the risk for an adverse reaction to vaccinations. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=186110 The neurexin 1 gene is located on chromosome 2.
