Una investigación basada en el análisis de datos genéticos de cientos de miles de personas ha identificado conexiones genéticas ocultas entre el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) y diversas enfermedades cardiometabólicas, como la obesidad, la diabetes tipo 2 o el colesterol. Estos hallazgos han sido publicados en la prestigiosa revista científica Molecular Psychiatry, y ayudan a explicar por qué las personas con autismo presentan un mayor riesgo de sufrir problemas de salud física a lo largo de su vida. El estudio ha sido impulsado por personal investigador del Hospital Universitari Institut Pere Mata (HUIPM) y del Institut de Recerca Biomèdica Catalunya Sud (IRB CatSud, antes IISPV), con la colaboración de la Universidad de Oslo y con participación de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV).
