AbstractTo assess the frequency of cryptic subtelomeric rearrangements in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders, blood samples were studied using a complete set of subtelomeric FISH probes in 72 children with autism spectrum disorders. All children had normal high resolution karyotype, DNA fra‐X analysis, brain MRI, metabolic work‐up, and physical/neirological examination. Subtelomeric analysis did not detect abnormalities in any of the subjects, suggesting the uselessness of such investigations in individuals with primary autism spectrum disorders. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
