AutismKB 2.0

Syndromic Autism Gene List


Some autism cases are observed in the context of a recognized syndrome (e.g., the fragile X syndrome) with known causal genes. These 99 genes were classified as syndromic autism genes in AutismKB.
This dataset comes from Catalina Betancur's review published in Brain Research in 2011(Betancur, 2011)
