Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms may be related to genetic factors (copy number variations, or CNVs), exposure to first-trimester ultrasound during pregnancy, and their interaction, especially in male children.
  • Researchers found that male children with ASD who had both CNVs and prenatal ultrasound exposure showed worse nonverbal IQ scores and more repetitive behaviors compared to those with CNVs alone, suggesting that ultrasound exposure might influence ASD severity in genetically vulnerable fetuses.
  • The findings support concerns that early prenatal ultrasound could impact brain development in children with certain genetic risks, highlighting the need for cautious use of diagnostic ultrasound during pregnancy and further research into its effects on neurodevelopment.]
