Abstract

Various chromosomal anomalies including small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) and Uniparental disomy (UPD) have been described in association with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Based on our reported findings, we recommend that patients with sSMC(8) be evaluated for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for early institution of therapy. In the presence of an identifiable sSMC, exploration of UPD is also recommended to further investigate the role of chromosome 8 UPD in ASD.
