A molecular genetic study of autism and related phenotypes in extended pedigrees
Abstract
BackgroundEfforts to uncover the risk genotypes associated with the familial nature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have had limited success. The study of extended pedigrees, incorporating additional ASD-related phenotypes into linkage analysis, offers an alternative approach to the search for inherited ASD susceptibility variants that complements traditional methods used to study the genetics of ASD.MethodsWe examined evidence for linkage in …
