High impact information on AUTS2

  • Thus, although it is unlikely that AUTS2 is an autism susceptibility gene for idiopathic autism, it may be the gene responsible for the disorder in the twins studied here [1].
  • AUTS2 is 1.2 Mb and has 19 exons [1].
  • Association analysis with two exonic polymorphic sites and linkage analysis of four dinucleotide repeat markers, two within and two flanking AUTS2, was negative [1].
