TL;DR: This study presents the clinical and array-based comparative genomic hybridization evaluation of a 4-year-old male with autism spectrum disorder and mental retardation, and finds that the patient was found to carry a de novo duplication of chromosome 8p22-21.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated motor impairments in Chinese toddlers with ASD and explored the relationship between motor deficits and social communication skills, finding that weaker gross and fine motor skills have greater deficits in social communicative skills.

TL;DR: This skill training course is helpful for parents with young ASD children and next steps involve setting up a pilot randomized controlled trial to test the effects on parent skills in a more rigorous manner and to examine effects on children whose parents are receiving the training.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the phenotypes of one of the cases and two previously reported cases with c.1477C > T (p. R493*) and found that the overlapping clinical features are global developmental delay or intellectual disability, language delay and scoliosis, but their other clinical characteristics are different.
