Abstract excerpt
Autism affects more males than females and is associated with disturbances of the serotonin system. The integrin beta3 (ITGB3) and serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) genes were both recently identified as male quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for serotonin levels and alleles of each have been associated with autism. Here, we use publicly available genomic resources to determine whether regulation of expression level...
