TL;DR: The identification of a novel 421 kb de novo SHANK2 deletion in a patient with autism strengthens the role of synaptic gene dysfunction in ASD but also highlights the presence of putative modifier genes, in keeping with the “multiple hit model” for ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of anxiety symptoms in school performance in a community sample of children and adolescents
Luigi Mazzone,Francesca Ducci,Maria Cristina Scoto,Eleonora Passaniti,Valentina Genitori D'Arrigo,Benedetto Vitiello +5 more
TL;DR: In this community sample of children and adolescents attending elementary through high school, the prevalence of abnormally high self-reported levels of anxiety increased in frequency with age and was negatively associated with school performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychiatric comorbidities in asperger syndrome and high functioning autism: diagnostic challenges
TL;DR: The challenges that clinicians and researchers face in trying to determine whether the psychiatric symptoms are phenotypic manifestations of AS/HFA or rather they are the expression of a distinct, though comorbid, disorder are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Domenico M. Romeo,Matteo Cioni,Mariacristina Scoto,Luigi Mazzone,Filippo Palermo,Mario G. Romeo +5 more
TL;DR: The results point out that the HINE can give additional information about neuromotor development of infants with CP from 3-6 months of age, strictly related to the gross motor functional abilities at 2 years of age.
