The aim of this study was to identify phenotypes in mothers and fathers that are specifically associated with disturbances in reciprocal social interactions and communication in their young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a Japanese sample. 
Associations between parental broader autism phenotype and child autism spectrum disorder phenotype in the Study to Explore Early Development
TLDR
Broader autism phenotype in at least one parent was associated with a child having increased odds of being classified as mild language and motor delay with dysregulation compared to significant developmental delay with repetitive motor behaviors.
Parental Broad Autism Phenotype and the Language Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
TLDR
Results suggest that the association between aloofness and child language are potentially mediated by maternal use of responsive verbal behaviors, and paternal pragmatic language deficits were not concurrently related to child-initiated engagement or language skills.
Childhood Academic Performance: A Potential Marker of Genetic Liability to Autism.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, confers genetic liability that is often expressed among relatives through subclinical, genetically-meaningful traits, or
Broader Autism Phenotype in Parents of Children with Autism: A Systematic Review of Percentage Estimates
TLDR
Parental BAP may be an important tool for parsing heterogeneity in ASD etiology and for developing parent-mediated ASD interventions, but the variety in measurement instruments and variability in study samples limits the ability to synthesize estimates.
The association between familial ASD diagnosis, autism symptomatology and developmental functioning in young children
TLDR
No differences were found between ASD groups on overall scores and each of the factor domains, indicating no association between family ASD diagnosis and ASD symptomatology or developmental functioning.
Evaluating the role of social attention in the causal path to Autism Spectrum Disorder
TLDR
The evidence for the hypothesis that early disruptions in social attention are involved in the causal pathway to Autism Spectrum Disorder is evaluated, pointing to neural and behavioural atypicalities at critical time points as promising targets for cognitive and affective interventions.
Parents’ impaired emotion recognition abilities are related to children’s autistic symptoms in autism spectrum disorder
TLDR
Whether parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) had impaired emotion recognition abilities and whether this deficit was related to their children’s autistic symptoms is explored and a negative correlation was found between the total number of correct ERT responses for parents of ASD children and these children's “restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior” scores on the ADI-R.
Feelings of Parents with Broader Autism Phenotype Towards Their Autistic Child
Genetic family history studies suggest that a genetic liability for autism may be expressed in non-autistic relatives in a milder but qualitatively similar pattern of the traits that define autism

Broader autistic phenotype in parents of children with autism: Autism Spectrum Quotient–Turkish version
TLDR
The aim of this study was to test whether there is a difference between the parents of autistic and those of typically developing children (TDC) on AQ scores in a Turkish sample.
Using self-report to identify the broad phenotype in parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders: a study using the Autism-Spectrum Quotient.
TLDR
The Autism Spectrum Quotient appears to be sensitive to the broad phenotype, provided attention is restricted to the social skills and communication scales.
Broader Autism Phenotype in Parents of Autistic Children: Reality or Myth?
TLDR
Fathers with an autistic child demonstrated a different reaction time pattern and responded slower on the social cues than control fathers, which partly support and further elaborate on the BAP in parents with an autism child.
Exploring the cognitive phenotype of autism: weak "central coherence" in parents and siblings of children with autism: I. Experimental tests.
TLDR
Results indicated that fathers of boys with autism, as a group, showed piecemeal processing across four tests of central coherence, raising the possibility that the broader autism phenotype may include a "cognitive style" that can confer information-processing advantages.
Profiles of executive function in parents and siblings of individuals with autism spectrum disorders
TLDR
The results indicated that the broad autism phenotype may not be characterized primarily by impairments in planning and cognitive flexibility, as had been previously proposed.
Quantitative autistic traits ascertained in a national survey of 22 529 Japanese schoolchildren
TLDR
This study sought to determine the nature of the population distribution of autistic traits using a quantitative trait measure in a large national population sample of children.
Advances in autism genetics: on the threshold of a new neurobiology
TLDR
Systems biology approaches, including array-based expression profiling, are poised to provide additional insights into this group of disorders, in which heterogeneity, both genetic and phenotypic, is emerging as a dominant theme.
Autistic social impairment in the siblings of children with pervasive developmental disorders.
TLDR
Results support the notion that genetic susceptibility factors responsible for common, subsyndromal social impairments may be related to the causes of categorically defined pervasive developmental disorders.
Defining the broader, medium and narrow autism phenotype among parents using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)
TLDR
The Autism Spectrum Quotient provides an efficient method for quantifying where an individual lies along the dimension of autistic traits, and extends the notion of a broader phenotype among first-degree relatives of those with ASC.
Exploring the cognitive phenotype of autism: weak "central coherence" in parents and siblings of children with autism: II. Real-life skills and preferences.
TLDR
Information on everyday life activities and preferences in both social and nonsocial domains was obtained from parents and children who had taken part in an experimental study of central coherence, suggesting that some parents showed similarities with their son with autism, in preference for nonsocial activities and ability in detail-focused processing.
