First, it apparently might account for, at best, an extremely small number of cases of autism. Also, it strikes me that, in this type of situation, the next logical thing to do is to examine the parents, and maybe grandparents, and determine if they also have these duplications.

There was a mitochondiral drisfunction that was found in a lot of children diagnosed with autism. Is this the same thing that is being tested for or is this completely different?
