Article Description

We report a patient with a terminal 12p deletion associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This 12p13.33 deletion is 1.5 Mb in size and encompasses 13 genes ( B4GALNT3, CCDC77, ERC1, FBXL14, IQSEC3, KDM5A, LINC00942, LOC574538, NINJ2, RAD52, SLC6A12, SLC6A13 and WNK1 ). All previous cases reported with partial monosomy of 12p13.33 are associated with neurodevelopmental delay, and we suggest that ERC1, which encodes a regulator of neurotransmitter release, is the best gene candidate contributing to this phenotype as well as to the ASD of our patient.
