Abstract excerpt

One-third of women with Turner syndrome (45,X) have autism-like social and communication difficulties, despite normal verbal IQ. Deletion mapping of the X-chromosome implicated 5 Mb of Xp11.3-4 as critical for recognition of facial fear, a quantitative measure of social cognition. Variability in fear recognition accuracy in Turner syndrome suggested the existence of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) revealed by...
