About the project

The Autism Chromosome Rearrangement Database is a collection of hand curated breakpoints and other genomic features, related to autism, taken from publicly available literature: databases and unpublished data. The database is continuously updated with information from in-house experimental data as well as data from published research studies. We welcome submission of data and comments regarding the database from the research community.

Database first described in Xu, J., Zwaigenbaum, L., Szatmari, P. and Scherer, S.W. 2004. Molecular Cytogenetics of Autism. Current Genomics 5(4), 347-364.
