Abstract excerpt
Human chromosome 7q31 contains putative susceptibility loci for autism (AUTS1) and speech and language disorder (SPCH1). We report here the identification and characterization of a novel gene encoding cortactin-binding protein-2 (CORTBP2), which is located 45 kb telomeric to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) at 7q31.3. The full-length (5975-bp) gene was isolated and found to be...
