Autism and Williams syndrome: a case report.

The world journal of biological psychiatry : the official journal of the World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry - 1 Jan 2006

Herguner Sabri, Mukaddes Nahit Motavalli

Abstract excerpt

Williams syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a deletion in the 7q11.23 region which includes at least 17 genes. The presence of autistic features in WS is a controversial issue. While some authors describe WS as the opposite phenotype of autism, recent studies indicate that both share many common characteristics. We report a 12-year-old boy diagnosed as autistic disorder and WS with...
