TL;DR: Twenty-five genes showing a bias for autism versus intellectual disability and a network associated with high-functioning autism are highlighted, and clinical follow-up for NAA15, KMT5B, and ASH1L highlighted new syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Ten patients with ASD and other shared clinical characteristics are reported, including intellectual disability and facial dysmorphisms caused by a mutation in ADNP, a transcription factor involved in the SWI/SNF remodeling complex, making it one of the most frequent ASD-associated genes known to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings broaden the phenotypic spectrum associated with 15q13.3 deletions and suggest that, in some individuals, deletion of 15q 13.3 is not sufficient to cause disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This patient collection demonstrates that the 7q11.23 microduplication not only causes language delay, but is also associated with congenital anomalies and a recognizable face.

TL;DR: Inactivating mutations in the Ankyrin 3 (ANK3) gene in patients with severe cognitive deficits support the suggested association of ANK3 with various neuropsychiatric disorders and illustrate the genetic and molecular relation between a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders.
