Genetic aspects of autism have been in the news this year, e.g., “Common Mechanisms May Underlie Autism's Seemingly Diverse Mutations: Study Implicates Disruption of Genes Regulated by Early Experience” (original article “Identifying Autism Loci and Genes by Tracing Recent Shared Ancestry” in Science) and “Rare Genetic Glitch Hikes Risk of Autism” (original article “A Hot Spot of Genetic Instability in Autism” in New England Journal of Medicine).
Works that focus on genes as a possible or partial cause of autism are classed in 616.85882042 Genetic aspects of autism (built with 616.85882 Autism plus 042 Genetic diseases from the add table under 616.1-616.9 Specific diseases, following instructions at 616.1-616.9; at 042 Genetic diseases is the note: “Class here genetic aspects of diseases with complex causation, medical genetics”). An example of a work classed in 616.85882042 Genetic aspects of autism is Autism Susceptibility Genes: Analysis of Candidate Genes at the AUTS1 Locus on Chromosome 7q.
Comprehensive works on possible causes of autism are classed in 616.85882071 Etiology of autism (built with 616.85882 Autism plus 071 Etiology from the add table under 616.1-616.9 Specific diseases, following instructions at 616.1-616.9), e.g., Potential Causes of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Just above the add table at 616.1-616.9 Specific diseases is the note: “All notes under 616.02-616.08 are applicable here.” Consequently, the note under 616.071 Etiology leading to 616.042 Genetic diseases —“Class genetic diseases, genetic aspects of diseases with complex causation in 616.042”—is relevant to the choice between 071 Etiology and 042 Genetic diseases in the add table at 616.1-616.9 Specific diseases. (Notes are provided in the add table to highlight the relationships among add table notation, to provide additional instructions, or to overrule the instructions found under 616.02-616.08.)
