The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of conditions characterized by
impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, and the presence of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable disorder of complex and
heterogeneous aetiology. It is primarily characterized by altered cognitive ability including …

Aim Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is pragmatically defined as disordered bowel
function after rectal resection leading to a detriment in quality of life. This broad …

Autism and mental retardation (MR) show high rates of comorbidity and potentially share
genetic risk factors. In this study, a rare∼ 2 Mb microdeletion involving chromosome band …

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterised by impairments in social
