Thomas W. Frazier,Eric A. Youngstrom,Leslie Speer,Rebecca Embacher,Paul A. Law,John N. Constantino,Robert L. Findling,Antonio Y. Hardan,Charis Eng +8 more
TL;DR: Results supported the validity of proposed DSM-5 criteria for ASD as provided in Phase I Field Trials criteria and supported a relaxed algorithm, which may improve identification of ASD, decreasing societal costs through appropriate early diagnosis and maximizing intervention resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and phenotypic abnormalities in individuals with germline heterozygous PTEN mutations and autism
Thomas W. Frazier,Rebecca Embacher,Amanda K. Tilot,Katherine A. Koenig,Jessica Mester,Charis Eng +5 more
TL;DR: Processing speed and working memory deficits and white-matter abnormalities may serve as useful features that signal clinicians that PTEN is etiologic and prompting referral to genetic professionals for gene testing, genetic counseling and cancer risk management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical screening and PTEN mutation analysis in individuals with autism spectrum disorders and macrocephaly.
Judith A. Hobert,Rebecca Embacher,Jessica Mester,Jessica Mester,Thomas W. Frazier,Thomas W. Frazier,Charis Eng +6 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that a proportion of individuals with ASDs may have an underlying disorder in sulfur amino acid metabolism, and PTEN sequencing should be carried out for all individuals with AsDs and macrocephaly with OFC ≥2SDs above the mean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographic and clinical correlates of autism symptom domains and autism spectrum diagnosis
Thomas W. Frazier,Eric A. Youngstrom,Rebecca Embacher,Antonio Y. Hardan,John N. Constantino,Paul A. Law,Robert L. Findling,Charis Eng +7 more
