Increasing knowledge of <i>PTEN</i> germline mutations: Two additional patients with autism and macrocephaly

Abstract excerpt

Recently, Butler et al. [2005; J Med Genet 42:318-321] reported the presence of heterozygous germline mutations in the PTEN tumor suppressor gene in three children with autism and macrocephaly. Here, we report the presence of PTEN mutations in two additional unrelated children with macrocephaly and autism.
