Abstract excerpt
Autism and related traits are highly heritable but cannot be explained by currently known genetic risk factors. Therefore, the advent of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy number variant (CNV) microarray technologies heralded identification of additional autism loci. CNVs associated with autism seem to show variable expressivity, also leading to other phenotypes, such as schizophrenia,...
