Abstract :
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by impairments in social functioning, language,communication, and behavior. Recent genome-wide association studies show some microdeletions on the 7q31-32 region, includingthe CADPS2 locus in autistic patients. This paper reports the case of a patient with ASD and recurrent psychotic syndrome, in whicha deletion on the 7q31-32 band at the CADPS2 gene locus was evidenced, as well as a brief review of the literature on the CADPS2gene and its association with ASD
