A genome-wide linkage and association scan reveals novel loci for autism
2009
Autism is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, and yet few specific susceptibility genes have been identified to date. A linkage and association mapping study using half a million genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms is now described in a common set of 1,031 multiplex autism families. The linkage regions identified provide targets for rare variation screening whereas the discovery of a single novel association, SEMA5A, demonstrates the action of common variants.
