Functional impact of global rare copy number variation in autism spectrum disorders
NATURE(2010)
摘要
The genetics of autism The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of conditions typically characterized by repetitive behaviour, severely restricted interests and difficulties with social interactions and communication. ASDs are highly heritable, yet the underlying genetic determinants remain largely unknown. A genome-wide analysis reveals that people with ASDs carry a higher load of rare copy-number variants — segments of DNA for which the copy number differs between individual genomes — which are either inherited or arise de novo . The results implicate several novel genes as ASD candidates and point to the importance of cellular proliferation, projection and motility as well as specific signalling pathways in this disorder.
