CNTNAP5 and autism: As there are no disruptions of CNTNAP5 reported in eight recent whole genome CNV scans listed in the Autism Chromosome Rearrangement Database (http://projects.tcag.ca/autism, December 2009 update), we decided to further assess the potential role of rare CNTNAP5 variants in ASD, by sequencing all 24 exons and intron-exon boundaries for probands from 143 ASD families.
