Infant social attention: an endophenotype of ASD-related traits? / Emily J. H. JONES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-3 (March 2017)
[article]
Titre : Infant social attention: an endophenotype of ASD-related traits? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily J. H. JONES, Auteur ; Kaitlin VENEMA, Auteur ; Rachel K. EARL, Auteur ; Rachel LOWY, Auteur ; Sara J. WEBB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.270-281 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders infancy endophenotype social attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background As a neurodevelopmental disorder, symptoms of ASD likely emerge from a complex interaction between preexisting genetic vulnerabilities and the child's environment. One way to understand causal paths to ASD is to identify dimensional ASD-related traits that vary in the general population and that predispose individuals with other risk factors toward ASD. Moving beyond behavioral traits to explore underlying neurocognitive processes may further constrain the underlying genetics. Endophenotypes are quantitative, heritable, trait-related differences that are generally assessed with laboratory-based methods, can be identified in the general population, and may be more closely tied to particular causal chains that have a more restricted set of genetic roots. The most fruitful endophenotypes may be those observed in infancy, prior to the emergence of behavioral symptoms that they are hypothesized to cause. Social motivation is an ASD-related trait that is highly heritable. In this study, we investigate whether infant endophenotypes of social attention relate to familial risk for lower social motivation in the general population. Methods We examined whether infant social attention (measured using habituation, EEG power, and event-related potential tasks previously used in infants/toddlers with ASD) varies quantitatively with parental social motivation in 117 six-month-old and 106 twelve-month-old typically developing infants assessed cross-sectionally. To assess heritable aspects of social motivation, primary caregiver biological parents completed two self-report measures of social avoidance and discomfort that have shown high heritability in previous work. Results Parents with higher social discomfort and avoidance had infants who showed shorter looks to faces but not objects; reduced theta power during naturalistic social attention; and smaller P400 responses to faces versus objects. Conclusions Early reductions in social attention are continuously related to lower parental social motivation. Alterations in social attention may be infant endophenotypes of social motivation traits related to ASD.
