TL;DR: It is reported that a mutation of a single copy of SHANK3 on chromosome 22q13 can result in language and/or social communication disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The clinical psychiatric presentation and important outcome measures of a large group of normal-intelligence adult patients with ASDs, characterized by impaired social interaction and non-verbal communication in adulthood as well as in childhood, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Childhood
TL;DR: Different neuropsychiatric disorders seem to have a common genetic etiology, suggesting caution in the use of diagnostic entities and proband status in efforts to uncover genes predisposing to autism spectrum disorders.
Journal Article
The genetics of autism spectrum disorders and related neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that monozygotic twins had higher concordance rates than dizygotic twins for autism spectrum disorders, attention defcit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), developmental coordination disorder, and tic disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal melatonin synthesis in autism spectrum disorders
Jonas Melke,H Goubran Botros,Pauline Chaste,Catalina Betancur,Gudrun Nygren,Henrik Anckarsäter,Henrik Anckarsäter,Maria Råstam,Ola Ståhlberg,I. C. Gillberg,Richard Delorme,Nadia Chabane,M-C Mouren-Simeoni,Fabien Fauchereau,Christelle M. Durand,F Chevalier,X Drouot,Corinne Collet,J.M. Launay,Marion Leboyer,Christopher Gillberg,Thomas Bourgeron +21 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that a low melatonin level, caused by a primary deficit in ASMT activity, is a risk factor for autism spectrum disorders and support ASMT as a susceptibility gene for ASD and highlight the crucial role of melatonin in human cognition and behavior.
