Clinical Synopsis
TEXT
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because a phenotype that includes features of
autism, mental retardation, ataxia, and seizures is caused by duplication of one or more
genes within the chromosome 15q11-q13 region. The 15q11-q13 region is also
implicated in Angelman syndrome (AS; 105830) and Prader-Willi syndrome (176270).
For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autism, see
209850.
See also chromosome 15q13.3 deletion syndrome (612001).
Clinical Features
Bundey et al. (1994) reported a boy with mental retardation, infantile autism, ataxia,and seizures, who had an extensive interstitial duplication of 15q11-q13, including the
critical regions for PWS and AS on the maternally derived chromosome. Clayton-Smith

included the Angelman critical region, who had ataxia and moderate developmental
delay, particularly of language, but neither epilepsy nor behavior problems.
Baker et al. (1994) reported 2 patients with an autistic disorder associated withduplication of chromosome 15q11-q13.
Flejter et al. (1996) reported 2 patients with mental retardation, seizures, autistic
features, and mild hypotonia who both had supernumerary inv dup(15)(pter-q13::q13-
pter) chromosomes. In both cases, the abnormal chromosome appeared to be derived
from the mother.
In reviewing previous reports of individuals with autism and abnormalities ofproximal 15q, Wolpert et al. (2000) suggested that there may be additional specific
findings in these patients, including hypotonia, seizures, delayed motor milestones,
and mental retardation.
Filipek et al. (2003) reported 2 autistic children who had a 15q11-q13 inverted
duplication. Both had uneventful perinatal courses, normal electroencephalogram and
MRI scans, moderate motor delay, lethargy, severe hypotonia, and modest lactic
acidosis. Both children also had muscle mitochondrial enzyme assays that showed a
pronounced mitochondrial hyperproliferation and a partial respiratory chain block
most parsimoniously placed at the level of complex III, suggesting that candidate gene
loci for autism within the critical region on chromosome 15 may affect pathways
influencing mitochondrial function.
Thomas et al. (2003) reported 3 families with an interstitial duplication (15)(q11-q13), 2
of which demonstrated multigenerational maternal inheritance. Affected individuals
had minor anomalies and developmental delay, and 4 of the 5 children examined either
met criteria for a diagnosis of autism or were in the 'autistic range.'
Miller et al. (2009) identified 5 patients, including 2 sibs, with a chromosome 15q13.2-
q13.3 microduplication identified by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
Four of 5 patients had diagnosis of autism; the fifth showed some repetitive behaviors
and expressive language delay. Two other patients also had severe expressive language
delay, but language testing results were not available on the remaining 2 patients.
There was no consistent pattern of dysmorphology or seizures. Three patients,
including the 2 sibs, inherited a duplication from an apparently unaffected mother. Theduplications ranged in size from 0.50 to 1.98 Mb.

and hypotonia, poor motor skills, stereotyped movements, irregular breathing, absent
language, and severe refractory seizures associated with a maternally derived
microduplication of 15q11-q13. Although early growth and development were normal,
at age 2.5 years she showed developmental regression, with progressive cognitive and behavioral decline. Learning and communication difficulties progressed to aphasia,
poor motor coordination, reduction in social interaction, and repetitive stereotypic
hand movements. She was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder,
although a variant form of Rett syndrome (RTT; 312750) was suspected. Seizures
included atypical absences, astatic, tonic, and complex partial seizures, sometimes
evolving to status epilepticus. She often had periods of hyperventilation followed by
apnea. At the age of 13 years, the patient could not longer speak, and motor and
communication skills further declined. She had mild dysmorphic features includingdownslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal bridge, epicanthal folds, short philtrum,
and wide mouth with full lips. Brain MRI showed hypoplasia of the corpus callosum
and moderate cortical atrophy. Array-CGH detected a 4-Mb duplication of the 15q11.2-
q13.1 region between BAC clones RP11-682C24 (22 Mb from the 15p telomere) and
RP11-322N14 (25.9 Mb from the telomere); the duplication was in tandem. Orrico et al.
(2009) postulated that her clinical deterioration, even as an adult, may have resulted
from long-term epileptic encephalopathy due to intractable multiple intractable
seizures that occurred on a daily basis her entire life.
Piard et al. (2010) reported a large 3-generation family in which 12 individuals had an
interstitial duplication of chromosome 15q11-q13. There was a wide range of cognitive
impairment, but no patient met the criteria for autism. Psychologic evaluations showed
low IQ, deficits in attention, concentration, memory, visual spatial abilities, and
adaptive skills, with considerable variation. Some patients had speech delay, and some
had delayed motor development and deficits in fine motor skills. Several had
psychiatric disturbances, such as depression, anxiety, emotional lability, and shyness.
One patient had seizures, 1 had febrile seizures as an infant, and none had dysmorphic
features. Ten individuals with maternal origin of the duplication demonstrated some
variation of the phenotype, whereas the 2 females with paternal origin of the
duplication had no demonstrable abnormalities. The minimal size of the duplication
was 5.68 Mb and included more than 30 genes.
Cytogenetics
The duplication of chromosome 15q11-q13 identified by Bundey et al. (1994) in a boy
with mental retardation, infantile autism, ataxia, and seizures, occurred on the
maternally derived chromosome. Analysis by FISH and conventional Southern blot

duplicated genes were GABRA5 (137142) and GABRB3 (137192), and the authors
speculated that these duplications may have contributed to the phenotype.
Cook et al. (1997) reported a family in which 2 children with autism, 1 of whom had amilder form, had maternal inheritance of a 15q11-q13 duplication. Microsatellite and
methylation analysis showed that the unaffected mother inherited the 15q11-q13
duplication from her father. A third unaffected child did not inherit the duplication.
Cook et al. (1997) noted that the findings in this family emphasized the significance of
parental origin for duplications of 15q11-q13; paternal inheritance led to a normal
phenotype, whereas maternal inheritance led to autism or atypical autism. The authors
suggested that the percentage of autistic patients who have large, cytologically
detectable abnormalities in the critical 15q11-q13 region is likely to be small (less than3% of cases in their clinic). Nonetheless, among those remaining autistic cases it is
possible that a larger percentage have mutations of an autism susceptibility gene(s)
within this region.
In 4 of 100 patients with autism, Schroer et al. (1998) identified abnormalities in
proximal 15q: 1 patient had 4 copies of proximal 15q, 2 patients had 3 copies, and 1
patient had 1 copy. All of the chromosome 15 abnormalities were inherited from the
mother.
Philippe et al. (1999) presented evidence suggesting a potential autism susceptibility
region that overlapped with a 15q11-q13 region identified in previous candidate gene
studies (Pericak-Vance et al., 1997). Wolpert et al. (2000) reported 3 unrelated autistic
patients with isodicentric chromosomes that encompassed the proximal region of
15q11.2. All 3 abnormal chromosomes were of maternal origin.
Shao et al. (2003) used a novel statistical method, ordered subset analysis, to identify a
homogeneous subset of families that contribute to overall linkage at chromosome 15.
Data from 221 patients with autism were used as a covariate, yielding evidence for
linkage to 15q11-q13 with an increase in the lod score from 1.45 to 4.71. The authors
noted that the candidate region includes the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor beta-3
gene (GABRB3; 137192).
To investigate large copy number variants (CNVs) segregating at rare frequencies (0.1
to 1.0%) in the general population as candidate neurologic disease loci, Itsara et al.
(2009) compared large CNVs found in their study of 2,500 individuals with publisheddata from affected individuals in 9 genomewide studies of schizophrenia, autism, and
mental retardation. They found evidence to support the association of duplication at

1.54 x 10(-7)). They identified 58 CNVs in this region; 45 of these were disease-
associated.
Van Bon et al. (2009) reported 4 probands with chromosome 15q13 duplication,including 3 with duplication involving breakpoints 4 and 5 (BP4-BP5) and 1 with
duplication of BP3-BP5. One of the duplications was de novo, 1 was inherited from an
unaffected father, and the inheritance of the remaining 2 could not be determined. All
patients had mild to severe mental retardation, and other common features present in
at least 2 of the 4 included autism, obesity, hypotonia, and recurrent ear infections. Both
parents of 1 patient had psychiatric illness (depression/personality disorder and
schizophrenia, respectively), but neither parent could be studied for the duplication.
Van Bon et al. (2009) suggested that the duplication may contribute to mentalretardation.
Heterogeneity
In addition to the chromosome 15q11-q13 duplication, Bonati et al. (2005) presented
evidence pointing to a more distal region of 15q having a role in autism. They reported
the case of a male child with autistic disorder, postnatal overgrowth, and a minor brain
malformation. Karyotyping and FISH analysis showed the presence of an extra copy of
the distal portion of 15q (15q25.2-qter) transposed to 15p, leading to 15q25.2-qter puretrisomy. This karyotype-phenotype study further supported the evidence for a specific
phenotype related to trisomy 15q25 or 15q26-qter and suggested that distal 15q may be
implicated in specific behavioral phenotypes.
Molecular Genetics
Among 166 unrelated Japanese patients with autism and 412 controls, Tochigi et al.
(2007) found no association with SNPs in 2 of the GABA receptor genes mapping to
chromosome 15q11-q13: GABRA5 (137142) and GABRG3 (600233). However, there was
evidence for association with SNP (rs3212337) near microsatellite 155CA-2 in the
GABRB3 gene (137192) (p = 0.029 after Bonferroni correction) at 15q11.2-q12.
