A full genome screen for autism with evidence for linkage to a region on chromosome 7q International Molecular Genetic Study of Autism Consortium

TL;DR: A two-stage genome search for susceptibility loci in autism was performed on 87 affected sib pairs plus 12 non-sib affected relative-pairs, from a total of 99 families identified by an international consortium, and a region on chromosome 7q was the most significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genomewide screen for autism: strong evidence for linkage to chromosomes 2q, 7q and 16p

TL;DR: The addition of new families and markers provides further support for previous reports of linkages on chromosomes 7q and 16p and two new regions of linkage have also been identified on chromosomes 2q and 17q.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further characterization of the autism susceptibility locus AUTS1 on chromosome 7q

Sarah Palferman, +79 more
TL;DR: The most significant susceptibility region in the first whole genome screen of multiplex families was on chromosome 7q, although this linkage was evident only in UK IMGSAC families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Support for linkage of autism and specific language impairment to 7q3 from two chromosome rearrangements involving band 7q31.

TL;DR: Two individuals are presented with different, apparently balanced chromosome rearrangements involving a breakpoint at 7q31, and the findings may be of interest and relevance to the genetic aetiology of autism, and helpful in the search for susceptibility loci for SDDSL and autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation and implementation of array comparative genomic hybridisation as a first line test in place of postnatal karyotyping for genome imbalance

TL;DR: Array CGH can be used in a diagnostic service setting in place of G-banded chromosome analysis, providing a more comprehensive and objective test for patients with suspected genome imbalance and alleviating the burden of further clinical investigations.
