Summary: This study focuses on the generation and initial characterization of a knockout mouse for a region of noncoding, regulatory DNA that was previously implicated in autism.

Background Previous genomic efforts on chromosome 9p deletion and duplication syndromes have utilized low-resolution strategies (i.e., karyotypes, chromosome microarrays). These studies have provided ...
