Mapping autism risk loci using genetic linkage and chromosomal rearrangements

Peter Szatmari, +139 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: Linkage and copy number variation analyses implicate chromosome 11p12–p13 and neurexins, respectively, among other candidate loci, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for contributing to ASDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of IMGSAC autism susceptibility loci: evidence for sex limited and parent of origin specific effects

TL;DR: Analysis of an expanded sample of 219 affected sibling pairs suggests the possibility of two discrete loci underlying linkage of autism to chromosome 7, and implicate possible parent of origin specific effects in the aetiology of autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of coding mutations in the X-linked genes neuroligin 3 and neuroligin 4 in individuals with autism from the IMGSAC collection.

TL;DR: The data indicate that coding mutations in these genes are very rarely associated to ASD, and a new non‐synonymous variant in NLGN3 (Thr632Ala), which is likely to be a rare polymorphism is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autism spectrum disorders: molecular genetic advances.

TL;DR: How recent technological and bioinformatic advances have set the stage to perform more comprehensive and well powered studies, possibly leading to a turning point in the understanding of the genetic basis of this devastating disorder is outlined.
