Abstract
We report an 18-year-old female with a diagnosis of DSM-IV Autistic Disorder and moderate to severe mental retardation who was discovered to have a previously undescribed chromosomal abnormality 46, XX, duplication (4) p12-p13. We discuss her history and diagnosis, noting that the co-occurrence of her diagnoses have not previously been documented. The report adds to the literature supporting the argument that individuals with autistic spectrum disorders should be re-examined for chromosomal abnormalities.Entities:
