Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several candidate gene studies support RELN as susceptibility gene for autism. Given the complex inheritance pattern of autism, it is expected that gene-gene interactions will exist. A logical starting point for examining potential gene-gene interactions is to evaluate the joint effects of genes involved in a common biological pathway. RELN shares a common biological pathway with APOE, and Persico et...
