The broad autism phenotype: a complementary strategy for molecular genetic studies of autism.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic liability for autism appears to be expressed not only as the full syndrome of autism, but in milder, qualitatively similar characteristics that collectively have been referred to as constituting the broad autism phenotype. Identification of components of the broad autism phenotype that segregate independently in relatives of autistic individuals may provide an index of genes that, when present...
