Autism and the broad autism phenotype: familial patterns and intergenerational transmission. [PDF]
J Neurodev Disord, 2013 Features of the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) are disproportionately prevalent in parents of a child with autism, highlighting familial patterns indicative of heritability. It is unclear, however, whether the presence of BAP features in both parents confers an increased liability for autism.

Brief Report: The Broad Autism Phenotype in Swedish Parents of Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Conditions. [PDF]
J Autism Dev Disord, 2022 AbstractThe broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of characteristics often observed in typically developing people with a genetic load for autism, such as parents of autistic children. The Broad Autism Phenotypic Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a 36-item questionnaire developed to identify the BAP in first-degree relatives of autistic people. We translated the

Neuropsychological profile of autism and the broad autism phenotype. [PDF]
Arch Gen Psychiatry, 2009 There now exist multiple reports of a constellation of language, personality, and social-behavioral features present among relatives that mirror the symptom domains of autism, but much milder in expression. Studies of this ‘broad autism phenotype’ (BAP) may provide a potentially important, complementary approach for detecting the genes causing autism ...

The broad autism phenotype predicts child functioning in autism spectrum disorders. [PDF]
J Neurodev Disord, 2013 Broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a milder expression of the social and communication impairments seen in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). While prior studies characterized the BAP in unaffected family members of probands with ASD, the relationship between parental BAP traits and proband symptomatology remains poorly understood.

Parental Broad Autism Phenotype and the Language Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
J Autism Dev Disord, 2018 Father-child and mother-child interactions were examined in order to investigate concurrent associations between three characteristics of parental broad autism phenotype (i.e., aloofness, rigidity, pragmatic language deficits), parental verbal responsiveness, and language skills of children with ASD.

Broad Autism Phenotype and Gait in Parents of Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
Ann NeurosciBackground Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder. Research has shown that parents and relatives of children with ASD often exhibit subthreshold ASD-like characteristics known as broad autism phenotype (BAP) as well as impairments in motor behaviours.

The Broad Autism (Endo)Phenotype: Neurostructural And Neurofunctional Correlates In Parents Of Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a set of neurodevelopmental disorders with an early-onset and a strong genetic component in their pathogenesis. According to genetic and epidemiological data, ASD relatives present personality traits similar to, but ...

Sex Differences in the Broad Autism Phenotype: Insights from the Australian Biobank. [PDF]
J Autism Dev DisordAbstract Examining sub-threshold autistic traits in non-autistic first-degree relatives of individuals on the autism spectrum, known as the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP), could provide new insights into the associations and familial aggregation of autistic traits.

Neural oscillatory dynamics reveal altered top-down and integrative mechanisms during face processing in autistic children and unaffected siblings of autistic children [PDF]
Journal of Neurodevelopmental DisordersFace processing is fundamental to social communication and has been a major focus of autism research. While event-related potential (ERPs) studies of face processing have produced mixed results, little work has examined neuro-oscillatory dynamics, which ...
