    Is Asperger syndrome inherited ?
    ### Response:
    Is Asperger syndrome inherited? Autism spectrum disorders including Asperger syndrome sometimes "run in families," but no specific inheritance pattern has been recognized. The condition is likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, which means that not all people with a genetic predisposition will be affected.
