Reply to: Autism Linked to Inherited Gene Mutations

Reply to: Autism Linked to Inherited Gene Mutations

Here is again the reply sent to this referenced to blog, and again it will not be published because it is to much truth, just like again the blog page before that. He never could stand up to me ever one on one, and that is the reason he created the blog he did, with not his name in the url, but my name. At least I fearlessly put my name right out into the public light for the past three years; unlike people like this which make up false excuses and must hide their identity. If he was anything near being credible, he would stand up lie a real man and put his information front and center for the world to see; wouldn't you think? What does that tell you about the agenda going on? That's right, it is what you see it is.

Here is a copy of the reply that was sent.

  Another in denial and intellectually dishonest blog, by alias no identity Costner. And with again that hateful and all to typical personal attack, based in every blog page. Your really looking good, don't you think? LOL.

Lets take a look at those studies.

Excerpted from the said blogs linked to article.

[At least 14 to 15 percent of children with autism will have some form of these identified gene mutations, said Geshwind.But the findings won't necessarily tell parents much. While having the mutation may increase the risk of autism, it doesn't necessarily mean the child will develop the disorder. The findings also can't tell researchers how severe a child's autism will be.]

Excerpted from the first study.

[Specifically, the frequency and distribution of these mutations have not been well characterized in matched unaffected controls, and such data are vital to the interpretation of de novo coding mutations observed in probands]

Here we show, using whole-exome sequencing of 928 individuals, including 200 phenotypically discordant sibling pairs, that highly disruptive (nonsense and splice-site) de novo mutations in brain-expressed genes are associated with autism spectrum disorders and carry large effects. On the basis of mutation rates in unaffected individuals, we demonstrate that multiple independent de novo single nucleotide variants in the same gene among unrelated probands reliably identifies risk alleles, providing a clear path forward for gene discovery. Among a total of 279 identified de novo coding mutations, there is a single instance in probands, and none in siblings, in which two independent nonsense variants disrupt the same gene, SCN2A (sodium channel, voltage-gated, type II,  subunit), a result that is highly unlikely by chance.]

Excerpted from the second study

[Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are believed to have genetic and environmental origins, yet in only a modest fraction of individuals can specific causes be identified1, 2. To identify further genetic risk factors, here we assess the role of de novo mutations in ASD by sequencing the exomes of ASD cases and their parents (n = 175 trios). Fewer than half of the cases (46.3%) carry a missense or nonsense de novo variant, and the overall rate of mutation is only modestly higher than the expected rate. In contrast, the proteins encoded by genes that harboured de novo missense or nonsense mutations showed a higher degree of connectivity among themselves and to previous ASD genes3 as indexed by protein-protein interaction screens. The small increase in the rate of de novo events, when taken together with the protein interaction results, are consistent with an important but limited role for de novo point mutations in ASD, similar to that documented for de novo copy number variants. Genetic models incorporating these data indicate that most of the observed de novo events are unconnected to ASD; those that do confer risk are distributed across many genes and are incompletely penetrant (that is, not necessarily sufficient for disease). Our results support polygenic models in which spontaneous coding mutations in any of a large number of genes increases risk by 5- to 20-fold. Despite the challenge posed by such models, results from de novo events and a large parallel case–control study provide strong evidence in favour of CHD8 and KATNAL2 as genuine autism risk factors.]

The second study as well seems to contradict the solid nature of the study that the first one eluded to. Again, while their data is at best quite inconclusive, that past that off in their conclusion as highly indicative of a link in causation.

As well in their statement that at least 14 to 15 percent of children with autism will have some form of these identified gene mutations; then even if one day the finding is more conclusive on a larger scale, that does not and has not yet linked any common findings for the other 85% of the autistic! Looks like you have a LONG way to go, to ever even begin to make the claim that you have, whihc was exactly this. [However these studies do show us a link, and finding more and more of these links coupled with determining other risk factors can lead us to the true cause somewhere down the road.]

If call that proving or showing a link or any link, then you are a delusional as the authors of those two studies, who like you, have clearly a vested interest in accusing any cause but vaccines. nature as well is not a nature publication nor anything even related to it, it is clearly a pharma connected journal I have seen articles from many times before.

I can show you a horror story list of recent scientific studies that far far more conclusively link autism to vaccines, than you can come up with any study at all, to dig yourself out of that information, in a month of Sundays, Costner! You know they are there, because you clearly directed to that and linked and referenced to them. it is quite all to obviously YOU that needs to start to pay attention to that research and modify their hypothesis. It, and as to that information and the science is as well far past the hypothesis state, in any rational and honest mind, alias no identity Costner!

Antivaxxers are nothing if not consistently misleading and flat-out dishonest???? Really? How is that? You have no science that even actually supports a hypothesis that genes of any kind are responsible for the major increase in autism; which you also denied that actual increase, in your previous blog page. The hypothesis in those two studies is so extremely weak it is pathetic that they would even promote that as the definitive cause of autism. Where is the proof as well that even if that gene is correctly identified, that the gene itself is solely responsible for autism, and the now known major increases in autism, and that nothing else triggers it? And yet it was as said only found in 15% of the autistic? Keep digging Costner, this blog page would be nearly hilarious, if the issue of autism was was not so serious.

The rate of autism going from 1 in 10,000 pre 1987 and the enactment of no federal liability act and the major increase in vaccines, to now rate of 1 in 88; is all due to a major shift in the gene pool of humanity??? And you specifically name me and have the hateful audacity to claim - Antivaxxers are nothing if not  consistently misleading and flat-out dishonest??? Wow. Another page filled with denial of all, imagine that, and a personal attack to go with it.

How many pages does that make now, of your personal obsession with me and the information I put out there? 80 plus? Thanks to the now 100 years misinformation and lies fed to us by the likes of modern chemicalized medicine, people like you are what they created. By the way; did you ever fully comprehend that (the) soil and the seed concept? That's what I thought. People with for one reason or the other far to much to lose to ever admit the truth, nor do they now have the ability to face the truth.

Don't have facts, proof, nor any science, alias Costner? 

What's this????


You just hate it when I do that, don"t yaa!!!!

As a final thought specifically on this said replied to blog page, I found an additional interesting commentary I will provide here.


Gene Mutation Risk for Autism --5% to 20%

If rare gene mutations are suspected to be the cause of  5% to, at most, 20%  autism, it leaves the most important questions unanswered:
What about the cause of autism in 80%  (possibly 95%) of autistic children unanswered?

To date, only the MMR vaccine and mercury in vaccines have been studied.

With so many millions of children affected by autism--and the spiraling increase in that number--shouldn't scientists take seriously the eye witness reports by thousands of parents who blame vaccines for triggering autistic spectrum in their previously healthy children?

There is a pressing need to examine without prejudice whether the vaccine-autism association is valid by comparing  autism (and other health) outcomes in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children.

Why is such an obviously necessary research approach so contentious and, therefore, neglected?

Whose financial investments are threatened by an analysis of data comparing the health of children vaccinated with those not vaccinated?

And here are a few more studies you can kick around in your head, Costner.

All that chemicalized pharma science is all good, right, Costner. All of it has followed the scientific method?

How does this happen then? Must of been all the corrupt multiple end point studies, got em confused?
Has pharma ever published a negative study on anything? No? Looks like they should have had a few? In the last 100 years, what have they accomplished for real cures??? How many times have they actually outlined the real cause of any chronic condition?  Make a list in your next blog page.

Reply to: CDC: Autism Rate is Now 1 in 88

Reply to: CDC: Autism Rate is Now 1 in 88

Wow, what an unbelievable expose of again more baseless and meritless denial!!!

You make these statements here. Marked with [....]

1. [Reported rates vary greatly from a high of one in 47 in Utah to a low of one in 210 in Alabama.  Experts said that variation likely reflected differences in awareness of the disorder (meaning how often it is recognized and/or diagnosed) rather than any true "hot spots" of autism.  It is also important to understand these rates do not mirror vaccination rates (a bit of a preemptive strike against those who will make unsubstantiated claims pertaining to vaccines causing autism).  In fact, in some cases such as the MMR and Rotavirus vaccines, vaccination rates in Alabama are actually higher than they are in Utah.  Overall the vaccination rates between the states is not statistically significant and bears no connection to the reported rates of autism.  (Refer to Table 2, pg 1174)  Sorry antivaxxers.]

Based on this.
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5936.pdf

Reply: There is nothing in that information that establishes any such thing, nor to support the claim that autism rates do not mirror vaccination rates. Let’s go ahead and even give that to you. Let’s say that one state had a lower rate of vaccination and still had an equal amount or even higher rate of autism, comparing to another state with slightly higher vaccination rates. The autism rate depends entirely on the susceptibility factors of the children in that state. Possibly there are more or less children susceptible to the adverse effects of vaccines in any one state. It proves nothing, and as most epidemiological studies have areas of data that can obviously not be conclusive as to such a said type of determination.      

2. [For the vaccine conspiracy theorists out there (aka Lowell Hubbs and his ilk), it is also important to note that vaccination rates have not changed significantly during this time period, not to mention that there is no significant difference in vaccination rates across races.  Sorry again antivaxxers - maybe it is time you developed a new theory?

The proportion of children who received all of the vaccinations in the combined series              plus hepatitis B and varicella (the 4:3:1:3:3:1 series) increased markedly in the early years of   this decade, from 66 percent in 2002 to 77 percent in 2006; since then, this rate has stagnated. (Table 1)]

Reply: And you use this below said information from your link, to establish and claimed as proof for the above two paragraphs,  that there were no changes in vaccination rates, from 2002 to 2008??? Really? There is nothing there in that information, nor the links provided that establishes that! Maybe you should have excerpted it.

http://www.childtrendsdatabank.org/?q=node/71
http://www.childtrendsdatabank.org/sites/default/files/17_tab01.pdf

[Differences by Race and Hispanic Origin

The most recent data show no significant differences in childhood vaccination rates by race/ethnicity.  In 2009, the share of children who received the combined series of vaccines (4:3:1:3), included 69 percent of blacks, 75 percent of Hispanics, 73 percent of Asians, and 74 percent of whites.  Meanwhile, the proportion of these groups receiving the combined series plus hepatitis B and varicella rates (4:3:1:3:3:1) ranged between 67 and 73percent.* (See Table 1)

 *2009 data are affected by a shortage of Hib vaccine that occurred between December 2007 and September 2009.]

More claims:

3. [The moral of the story is, even though the headline makes it appear that the number of autistic children in our nation seems to be growing rapidly, all available data seems to add credence to the opinion that this growth is merely due to increased awareness and more accurate diagnoses.  In years past a child may have been simply considered to be "unique", or "reserved".]

Reply: So in other words the only real claim and point to your page at all is essentially a claim that the autism rates going from 1 in 10,000 prior to 1987 and the enactment of the NVCA, resulting in no liability for pharmaceutical company vaccine makers and the quadrupling of vaccines on the CDC schedule, and now the lasted estimate of 1 in 88, is due to better diagnosis. 1 in 10,000 going to 1 in 88 is all due to better diagnosis is your claim.  The as well 1000’s of parents watching their healthy child regress into entirely lost autism after the MMR or a load of vaccines, was all coincidence; and thus the rate of autism is no higher than it was prior to 1987?   That’s your claim.

Then if there was an increase, did that happen between the years 1987 to 2000? Anything happen then? You are claiming there is no new autism epidemic of any kind, correct? You can not get any further into mislead denial than that. As always. Amazing. Nothing ever would be enough. Someone has to much to lose in facing the truth.

The concept of more harm than good, simply does not exist in their world.
