Pinto D, Delaby E, Merico D, Barbosa M, Merikangas A, Klei L, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2014 Apr; 94(5):677-94. PMID: 24768552
Rare copy-number variation (CNV) is an important source of risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). We analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in...

Anney R, Klei L, Pinto D, Almeida J, Bacchelli E, Baird G, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2012 Jul; 21(21):4781-92. PMID: 22843504
While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of...

Casey J, Magalhaes T, Conroy J, Regan R, Shah N, Anney R, et al.
Hum Genet . 2011 Oct; 131(4):565-79. PMID: 21996756
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable disorder of complex and heterogeneous aetiology. It is primarily characterized by altered cognitive ability including impaired language and communication skills and fundamental...

Anney R, Klei L, Pinto D, Regan R, Conroy J, Magalhaes T, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2010 Jul; 19(20):4072-82. PMID: 20663923
Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a substantial genetic basis, most of the known genetic risk has been traced to rare variants, principally copy number variants (CNVs). To identify common...

Pinto D, Pagnamenta A, Klei L, Anney R, Merico D, Regan R, et al.
Nature . 2010 Jun; 466(7304):368-72. PMID: 20531469
The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of conditions characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, and the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviours. Individuals with an...

Leyfer O, Tager-Flusberg H, Dowd M, Tomblin J, Folstein S
Autism Res . 2009 Apr; 1(5):284-96. PMID: 19360680
Autism and specific language impairment (SLI) are developmental disorders that, although distinct by definition, have in common some features of both language and social behavior. The goal of this study...

Mazefsky C, Folstein S, Lainhart J
Autism Res . 2009 Apr; 1(3):193-7. PMID: 19360666
Research indicates that relatives of individuals with autism have higher rates of affective disorders than both the general population and families of children with other developmental disabilities. In addition, individuals...

Lindgren K, Folstein S, Tomblin J, Tager-Flusberg H
Autism Res . 2009 Apr; 2(1):22-38. PMID: 19358305
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI) are developmental disorders exhibiting language deficits, but it is unclear whether they arise from similar etiologies. Language impairments have been described...

Szatmari P, Paterson A, Zwaigenbaum L, Roberts W, Brian J, Liu X, et al.
Nat Genet . 2007 Feb; 39(3):319-28. PMID: 17322880
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common, heritable neurodevelopmental conditions. The genetic architecture of ASDs is complex, requiring large samples to overcome heterogeneity. Here we broaden coverage and sample size relative...

Mankoski R, Collins M, Ndosi N, Mgalla E, Sarwatt V, Folstein S
J Autism Dev Disord . 2006 Aug; 36(8):1039-51. PMID: 16897390
Most autism has a genetic cause although post-encephalitis cases are reported. In a case-series (N = 20) from Tanzania, 14 met research criteria for autism. Three (M:F = 1:2) had...
