neutral  Tony M: I cvan't help feeling that 'prouver' is quite a bit stronger than simply 'account for', and as such, slightly changes the meaning.

- La phrase initiale de l'extrait cité ci-dessus se traduirait, ainsi, par : "Selon certains spécialistes, une recherche intensifiée de mutations rares pourrait confirmer l'occurrence d'un nombre de cas apparentés équivalents à un taux compris entre 15 et 20 % de l'ensemble des cas d'autisme..."

=> Erratum : "équivalents" au lieu de la graphie correcte : "équivalent" (au singulier car il définit le "nombre de cas..."

(Quoique, la graphie "équivalents", au pluriel, n'est pas erronée, en fin de compte, si l'on considère que la locution qu'il introduit définit le GN "cas apparentés", celui-ci étant au pluriel)

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I do not find a trace of "cas apparentés" in the original.

  -> In a semantical approach translation, the nominal group "cas apparentés" defines the meaning of the demonstrative pronoun "these". According to the phrase context, "these" refers to cases considered as similar to "autism cases" due to "rare mutations"
