Abstract excerpt
Autism (OMIM 209850) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a significant genetic component of a complex nature. Cytogenetic abnormalities in the Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome critical region (PWACR) on chromosome 15 (q11-13) have been described in several individuals with autism. We have examined five microsatellite markers spread across the 4 Mb PWACR for linkage disequilibrium (LD) in 148 families with autism...
