Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CNTNAP2 gene in Brazilian patients with autistic spectrum disorder
“Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CNTNAP2 gene in Brazilian patients with autistic spectrum disorder”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, The role of some genes and their single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as genetic contributors of complex diseases is still a topic of much investigation. Research on genes related to autism susceptibility has been somewhat challenging, but also promising. Common genomic variants of CNTNAP2 have been associated with autism, and a range of autistic phenotypes such as impaired language function, abnormal social behavior, intellectual deficiency, epilepsy, and schizophrenia have been associated with this gene.
