Journal ArticleDOI

Functional impact of global rare copy number variation in autism spectrum disorders

Dalila Pinto, +181 more
- 15 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genome-wide characteristics of rare (<1% frequency) copy number variation in ASD are analysed using dense genotyping arrays to reveal many new genetic and functional targets in ASD that may lead to final connected pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping autism risk loci using genetic linkage and chromosomal rearrangements

Peter Szatmari, +139 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: Linkage and copy number variation analyses implicate chromosome 11p12–p13 and neurexins, respectively, among other candidate loci, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for contributing to ASDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic fiber homeostasis requires lysyl oxidase-like 1 protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the protein lysyl oxidase–like 1 (LOXL1) do not deposit normal elastic fibers in the uterine tract post partum and develop pelvic organ prolapse, enlarged airspaces of the lung, loose skin and vascular abnormalities with concomitant tropoelastin accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide linkage and association scan reveals novel loci for autism

Lauren A. Weiss, +214 more
- 08 Oct 2009 - 
TL;DR: A linkage and association mapping study using half a million genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in a common set of 1,031 multiplex autism families, implicating SEMA5A as an autism susceptibility gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide scan for common alleles affecting risk for autism

Richard Anney, +170 more
TL;DR: In one of four primary association analyses, the association signal for marker rs4141463, located within MACROD2, crossed the genome-wide association significance threshold of P < 5 × 10−8 and, consistent with the winner's curse, its effect size in the replication sample was much smaller.
