title: Survey of candidate genes for autism susceptibility.
abstract: The causes of autism are unknown, and there is an increase over recent years in the diagnosis of children with this condition. Several chromosome regions have been evaluated to find linkages to the susceptibility for autism. Linkage has been found on chromosomes 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, and 22. The genes of interest still need to be evaluated and experiments will continue to look for more candidate genes.
