A genomewide screen for autism: strong evidence for linkage to chromosomes 2q, 7q and 16p

TL;DR: The addition of new families and markers provides further support for previous reports of linkages on chromosomes 7q and 16p and two new regions of linkage have also been identified on chromosomes 2q and 17q.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further characterization of the autism susceptibility locus AUTS1 on chromosome 7q

Sarah Palferman, +79 more
TL;DR: The most significant susceptibility region in the first whole genome screen of multiplex families was on chromosome 7q, although this linkage was evident only in UK IMGSAC families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying autism susceptibility genes.

TL;DR: The linkage findings suggest that there is a high probability that a region on chromosome 7q contains a susceptibility locus for autism, and the identification of the first autism susceptibility gene is likely to accelerate the discovery of other genes and will hopefully provide pointers to the mechanisms underlying abnormal brain development and function.
