In this issue of AJHG, Alarcón et al.,(1) Arking et al.,(2) and Bakkaloglu et al.(3) identify a series of functional variants in the CNTNAP2 gene that unequivocally implicate this gene as causing Type 1 autism in the general population.
在本期《美国人类遗传学杂志》中,阿拉尔孔等人(1)、阿金等人(2)以及巴卡洛格鲁等人(3)在接触蛋白相关蛋白2(CNTNAP2)基因中鉴定出一系列功能性变异,明确表明该基因是导致普通人群中1型自闭症的病因。
