Relevance of Common and Rare CNVs for Autism Etiology
C. Conceição, Inês; Correia, Catarina; Oliveira, Bárbara; Rama, Maria Margarida; Café, Cátia; Almeida, Joana; Mouga, Susana; Duque, FredericoRecent reports by the Autism Genome Project (AGP) consortium and other groups show that Copy Number Variants (CNVs), while individually rare, collectively may explain a large fraction of the etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The goal of this study was to establish the clinical and etiological relevance for ASD of potentially pathogenic CNVs identified in a Portuguese population sample by whole genome...
CNV Characterization, Inheritance and Phenotypic Correlations in Families With ...
C. Conceição, Inês; Correia, Catarina; Oliveira, Bárbara; M. Rama, Maria; Café, Cátia; Almeida, Joana; Mouga, Susana; Duque, FredericoAutism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have a strong genetic component, with an estimated heritability of over 90%1. Recent studies carried out by the Autism Genome Project (AGP) consortium suggest that rare Copy Number Variants (CNVs), characterized by submicroscopic chromosomal deletions and duplications, are more frequent in ASD compared to controls, and may play an important role in susceptibility to this disorder...
SHANK2 mutations: synapse homeostasis in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Oliveira, Bárbara; Correia, Catarina; Conceição, Inês; Almeida, Joana; Café, Cátia; Oliveira, Guiomar; M Vicente, AstridASD are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders presenting a complex inheritance pattern. The genetic causes of ASD are diverse, but the majority of genes previously implicated participate in the development and function of neuronal circuits. Mutations in genes encoding synaptic cell adhesion molecules and scaffolding proteins, such as neuroligins (NLGN), neurexins (NRXN) and the SHANK family, hav...
