Contact in the genetics of autism and schizophrenia.

Trends in neurosciences - 1 Feb 2009

Burbach J Peter H, van der Zwaag Bert

Abstract excerpt

Although autism and schizophrenia are considered to be distinct neuropsychiatric developmental disorders, recent studies indicate that they share genetic factors. The same chromosomal rearrangements and several single genes have emerged as genetic risks in both disorders. One such gene is contactin-associated protein-2 (CNTNAP2). These findings raise the possibility that these neuropsychiatric disorders share...
