Mutations of the X-linked genes encoding neuroligins NLGN3 and NLGN4 are associated with autism.

TL;DR: The authors reported mutations in two X-linked genes encoding neuroligins NLGN3 and NLGN4 in siblings with autism spectrum disorders, which affect cell-adhesion molecules localized at the synapse and suggest that a defect of synaptogenesis may predispose to autism.
