Genetics of autistic disorders : review and clinical implications [PDF]

, 2009
Twin and family studies in autistic disorders (AD) have elucidated a high heritability of AD. In this literature review, we will present an overview on molecular genetic studies in AD and highlight the most recent findings of an increased rate of copy ...

An Adult Presentation of KIF11‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42‐year‐old female presenting with a de novo single‐amino acid in‐frame deletion in the KIF11 gene (c.1294_1296del; p ...

Genetic Variation in ADHD‐Related Risk Genes in an Indigenous Population of the Amazon

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder; however, its genetic architecture remains poorly explored in Indigenous populations. This study aimed to analyze and characterize genetic variation in 11 genes (ADGRL3, CDH8, DCC, DUSP6, FOXP1, FOXP2, MEF2C, PCDH7, SEMA6D, SORCS3, and ST3GAL3 ...

Exploring the association between mental imagery, sensory sensitivity, and autistic traits in autistic and non-autistic adults

Scientific Reports
Mental imagery vividness varies between individuals. Low levels of mental imagery have been associated with high levels of autistic traits, whilst autistic traits are known to positively correlate with sensory sensitivities. This would predict a negative

Judicial Perspectives on Neurodiversity in Queensland Courts, Tribunals and Commissions: Experiences With Disclosure and Witness Credibility

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the impacts of the disclosure, or the non‐disclosure, of medical conditions associated with neurodiversity in the context of court proceedings and hearings before tribunals and commissions. This paper examines the experiences of twenty‐three Queensland Judges, Magistrates, and Tribunal and Commission Members with ...

The distribution of parent‐reported autistic and subclinical ADHD traits in children with and without an autism diagnosis

JCPP Advances
Background Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits often co‐occur in autistic children. The presence of subclinical ADHD traits can significantly impact upon different aspects of daily living.

Foetal testosterone and autistic traits in 18 to 24-month-old children

Molecular Autism, 2010
Background Autism spectrum conditions have been characterised as an extreme presentation of certain male-typical psychological traits. In addition, several studies have established a link between prenatal exposure to testosterone and cognitive sex ...

Biallelic PIGB Variants Cause Motor Neuropathy with Conduction Blocks and Peripheral Nerve Hyperexcitability

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchored proteins play critical roles in nervous system function. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in GPI‐anchor biosynthesis cause early‐onset multisystem disorders known as inherited GPI deficiencies. We describe a novel neuromuscular phenotype associated with PIGB deficiency.

Psychometric evaluation of the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory in autistic and non-autistic adults

Autism
Measures of autistic traits are only useful – for pre-diagnostic screening, exploring individual differences, and gaining personal insight – if they efficiently and accurately assess autism as currently conceptualised while maintaining psychometric validity across different demographic groups. We recruited 1322 autistic and 1279 non-autistic adults who

Characterization of Anticholinergic Medication Use and Its Associations With Everyday Memory Problems and Cognitive Decline in Autistic Adults With Higher Support Needs

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among older adults in the general population, medications with anticholinergic (AC) effects are associated with declines in cognitive functioning and with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Autistic people have high rates of co‐occurring medical conditions and polypharmacy across the lifespan; thus, they may be at particularly high risk of ...
