An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from human urine-derived cells of a 4 year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and developmental delay (DD) carrying a 830 kb de novo deletion at chromosome 7q11.22 disrupting the first exon and promoter region of AUTS2.
Here we report de novo exonic deletions of AUTS2 detected by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in three Chinese children referred to the clinic for developmental delay, including two deletions involving only exon 6 (98.4 and 262 kb, respectively) and one deletion involving the C-terminal of AUTS2 (2147 kb).
