Study of HOXD genes in autism particularly regarding the ratio of second to fourth digit length.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple genes are involved in the pathogenesis of autism. To study the causative gene, the relationship between autism endophenotypes and their closely related genes has been analyzed. There is a subgroup of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in which the ratio of second digit length to fourth digit length (2D/4D) is low (short digit group, SDG). We studied the relationship between ASD and HOXD genes, which are...
