Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te autism te take nui o ngā ira o te tamaiti, e ai ki tētahi rangahau nui o ngā māhanga o Ingarangi. E ai ki nga kaipūtaiao, i te toharite o te tamaiti, o te kotiro rānei e mate ana i te autism, ka taea e te ira te whakamārama i te 98 ōrau o te mate. Ko te rangahau, nā King's College London, i kitea he tino tuku iho te mate. Ko te rangahau tautohetohe e hono ana i te autism ki te MMR jab kua tino whakahaweatia, engari ko te awangawanga o enei ra kua arotahi ki te ahuatanga e whakaohohia ana e nga take taiao penei i te poke. I whakatauritea e te rōpū te whanonga o ngā takirua o ngā māhunga ōrite, e tiritiri ana i tō rātou DNA katoa, me ngā māhunga kāore i te ōrite, e haurua noa iho o ō rātou ira ōrite (whakaahua kōnae). E ai ki ngā tatauranga, kotahi i roto i te 100 ngā tāngata i te UK kei a rātau te mate autism. Engari i kii nga kairangahau ko ta raatau rangahau e kii ana ko nga ahuatanga o te ao me nga ahuatanga o te taiao he mea tuarua ki te ira. I whakatauritea e te rōpū te whanonga o ngā takirua o ngā māhunga ōrite, e tiritiri ana i tō rātou DNA katoa, me ngā māhunga kāore i te ōrite, e haurua noa iho o ō rātou ira. I kitea e rātau he nui ake te pānga o te mate ki ngā māhunga ōrite i roto i ngā māhunga kāore i ōrite. Ko te rangahau, i roto i te niupepa JAMA Psychiatry, i whakatau ko te DNA kino e whakamārama ana i waenganui i te 74 me te 98 ōrau o te take o te toharite o te autism. Mēnā he mea nui ngā ira, ka taea te whakamārama i te pikinga o ngā take o nā tata nei mā te nui ake o ngā tāngata e tika ana te whakatau i te mate. Ko te rangahau tautohetohe e hono ana i te autism me te MMR jab kua tino whakahawea (whakaahua o te konae) I kii a Dr Francesca Happe ki te BBC: "Ko o maatau kitenga e whakaatu ana he iti ake nga take o te taiao, he mea nui na te mea kei te awangawanga etahi o nga maatua mena he nui te poke o te poke ka puta te autism. Ko te whakaaetanga nui inaianei ko te pikinga o te tātaritanga he nui ake te mahi ki te whakanui ake i te mohiotanga o te mate.<unk> Ko tā Tākuta Judith Brown, o te National Autistic Society, i mea: <unk>Ko te autism he kōrero tino matatini o ngā ira, ehara i te mea ko te whakawhitiwhiti ki ētahi atu ira anake, engari...
He rangahau tautohetohe kua hono i te autism ki te MMR jab me te taiao. Engari e ki ana nga kairangahau ko te momo oranga me nga take o waho te mea tuarua ki te ira. He rangahau i mahia ki ngā māhanga - he nui ake te pānuitanga i roto i ngā takirua ōrite.
