Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders of complex etiology, with a recognized substantial contribution of heterogeneous genetic factors; one of the core features of ASD is a lack of affiliative behaviors. METHODS: On the basis of the existing literature, in this study we examined the hypothesis of allelic associations between genetic variants in six genes involved in control...
