METHODS Subjects DNA samples from 196 families were obtained from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE). AGRE, developed and maintained by the Cure Autism Now Foundation, is a central repository of family DNA samples for genetic studies of autism. 21 All AGRE families included at least two affected members with a diagnosis of autism, Asperger syndrome, or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified. Diagnoses of AGRE families were confirmed using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised protocol (ADI-R). The AGRE families have been used in a genome screen for autism7 and genotype data from 200 families at an average 10 cM resolution are available online at the AGRE web site (www. agre. org). ADI-R phenotypic data including ADI-R items and algorithm scores are also available from the AGRE web site. For the present study, a total of 890 subjects were available.
