Abstract excerpt
Molecular and neurobiological evidence for the involvement of neuroligins (particularly NLGN3 and NLGN4X genes) in autistic disorder is accumulating. However, previous mutation screening studies on these two genes have yielded controversial results. The present study explores, for the first time, the contribution of NLGN3 and NLGN4X genetic variants in Greek patients with autistic disorder. We analyzed the full...
