Characterization of a family with rare deletions in CNTNAP5 and DOCK4 suggests novel risk loci for autism and dyslexia.

Characterization of a family with rare deletions in CNTNAP5 and DOCK4 suggests novel risk loci for autism and dyslexia.

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterized by social, communication, and behavioral deficits and complex genetic etiology.
