BACKGROUND: Multiple lines of evidence indicate a strong genetic contribution to autism
spectrum disorders (ASDs). Current guidelines for clinical genetic testing recommend a G-
banded karyotype to detect chromosomal abnormalities and fragile X DNA testing, but
guidelines for chromosomal microarray analysis have not been established. PATIENTS AND
METHODS: A cohort of 933 patients received clinical genetic testing for a diagnosis of ASD
between January 2006 and December 2008. Clinical genetic testing included G-banded�…
