## Abstract Two recent studies have reported conflicting findings of association of a variant in the __HOXA1__ gene and autism. To try to resolve the conflict in findings, we conducted an association study in 78 Irish families of the reported DNA variants. We did not find statistically significant

Sib, twin, and family studies have shown that a genetic cause exists in many cases of autism, with a portion of cases associated with a fragile X chromosome. Three folatesensitive fragile sites in the Xq27+Xq28 region have been cloned and found to have polymorphic trinucleotide repeats at the respec
The present study was designed to assess linkage and linkage disequilibrium in two new ethnically distinct samples of families with primary autistic probands. The 5-HTT promoter repeat was genotyped in 54 singleton families collected in Italy and in 32 singleton and 5 multiplex families collected in
Genetic linkage studies in rodents and humans have identified specific chromosomal regions harboring seizure susceptibility genes. We have identified a novel polymorphism in the human alpha 2 subunit gene (ATP1A2) of the sodium potassium transporting ATPase (NaK-pump), a candidate gene for human tem
