We recently identified variants in 10 genes that are members of either the p53 pathway or Fanconi Anemia Complex (FAC), regulators of the DNA repair (DNA damage response; DDR) in 17 cases with Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatry Syndrome (PANS) or regression in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). This evidence concerns the gene FANCC and autism spectrum disorder.
