  • *The de novo p.V950A mutation in one of two brothers with autism reported by Nava et al25 is not included because of lack of clinical details.

  • <3c, less than 3rd centile; >97c, greater than 97th centile; dash (–), indicates information not available; GI, gastrointestinal; pf, palpebral fissures.
