title: Family-based association study of microsatellites in the 5' flanking region of AVPR1A with autism spectrum disorder in the Korean population.
abstract: This study evaluated the association between autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and microsatellites (RS3 and RS1) in the 5' flanking region of AVPR1A in 148 Korean trios comprising children with ASDs. In the transmission equilibrium test and haplotype analysis, we found a statistically significant association between microsatellites and Korean ASDs.
