Can grandparents carry a mutation to cause asperger syndrome in grandchildren, skipping a generation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that simple: For the most part what are inherited are genes coding for (snp)single nucleotide polymorphisims-different forms of enzymes that do not digest certain proteins. It is possible to be the contributor of (at most 1/4 total)genes that might contribute to certain symptom patterns.
