MSU lands $2.1 million grant to take part in national autism study
Date:6/19/2009

thout any developmental delay or disability.

  • Factors associated with a child's risk for developing autism. Risk factors may include: genes that children get from their parents, other health conditions or pregnancy complications.

    The causes of autism, a brain development disorder often affecting children before their third birthday, are not known. A large study such as this will give doctors and researchers a base of knowledge to draw on as they seeks ways to prevent and treat the condition, said Nigel Paneth, an MSU epidemiologist and co-investigator in the study.

    "It is very exciting for MSU to play such a key role in the national effort to try to find the causes of autism," Paneth said.

    BRIC's role includes using a Web-based data collection system created in 2005 that allows investigators to input and analyze information in real-time.

    "To enable us to do this, we have built a sophisticated Internet-based system for data collection and are developing additional technical innovations in data management to handle the 100 million data elements anticipated in this study," Reed said.
