Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A child with autism and mild microcephaly was found to have a de novo 3.3 Mb microdeletion on chromosome 1p34.2p34.3. The hypothesis is tested that this microdeletion contains one or more genes that underlie the autism phenotype in this child and in other children with autism spectrum disorders. METHODS: To search for submicroscopic chromosomal rearrangements in the child, array comparative genomic...
