Functional impact of global rare copy number variation in autism spectrum disorders

Dalila Pinto, +181 more
- 15 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genome-wide characteristics of rare (<1% frequency) copy number variation in ASD are analysed using dense genotyping arrays to reveal many new genetic and functional targets in ASD that may lead to final connected pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual fixation patterns during viewing of naturalistic social situations as predictors of social competence in individuals with autism.

TL;DR: A novel method of quantifying atypical strategies of social monitoring in a setting that simulates the demands of daily experience is reported, finding that fixation times on mouths and objects but not on eyes are strong predictors of degree of social competence.
Book

Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders

TL;DR: In this article, a sibling's perspective on the diagnosis of Rett's syndrome is presented. But the authors focus on the development and social development of individuals with autism and do not address the social aspects of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
