Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with severe cognitive and communication disabilities, that has a strong genetic predisposition predisposition.1 Reelin, a protein involved in neuronal migration during development, is encoded by a gene located on 7q22, 7q22,2 within the candidate region on 7q showing increased allele sharing in previous genome scans. 3–8 A case/control and family-based association study recently reported a positive association between a trinucleotide repeat polymorphism (GGC) located in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the reelin gene and autism. 9 We performed a transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) analysis of the 5′UTR polymorphism in 167 families including 218 affected subjects (117 trios and 50 affected sib pairs) and found no evidence of linkage/association. Our results do not support previous findings and suggest that the reelin gene is unlikely to play a major role as a susceptibility factor in autism and/or genetic heterogeneity.
