- Paediatric and neurodevelopmental examinations were made of 122 children between the ages of 5 and 7 years. The mothers of 62 of these children had undergone amniocentesis for prenatal chromosome determination. The other 60 children were controls, matched for time of birth and maternal age. The fact that no difference between the groups was revealed in respect of paediatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, orthopaedic abnormalities, or respiratory problems during the neonatal period indicates that the risk for developmental complications is not increased in children born after amniocentesis in the second trimester.

- In order to test the hypothesis that rates of motor and perceptual deficits in children tend to increase with maternal age, 65 children aged five and six years born to mothers with a mean age of 39.4 years were compared with 55 age-matched children born to mothers with a mean age of 27.9 years. The hypothesis was supported in that fine-motor problems were five times more common among the children born to older mothers than among those born to younger mothers. Visuo-perceptual dysfunction and attentional deficit signs also were much more common among the children of older mothers. The contribution of various associated factors to these results is discussed.

The sex chromosomes--one key to autism? An XYY case of infantile autism.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Genetic/chromosomal factors have recently been proposed as being of importance in many children presenting with the behavioral syndrome of infantile autism. There are several single case studies in the literature of childhood psychosis in connection with the XYY syndrome. A further case of this combination is described. It is suggested that the sex chromosomes may be of major importance in the genesis of some cases of autism.
