| Research Abstract |
We constructed a high-throughput screening system using PCR-high resolution melting(PCR-HRM) analysis which easily allow us to detect mutations or variations of genes associated with autism spectrum disorder(ASD). We searched the optimal condition for all exons of AUTSX1, AUTSX2 and AUTS9, and scanned the entire coding regions of the genes in genomic DNA obtained from 62 ASD patients, 200 healthy controls and 60 EBV transformed B cells. Nineteen novel mutations were identified in Japanese ASD patients.
