Abstract

Objective To study the transcription factor FOXP1 exon in the Han Chinese children with autism nuclear families,and finish the initial function prediction. Methods The gene sequencing in FOXP1 exon regions of 288 cases of children with autism and their biological parents were conducted to detect the copy number variation (CNV) of FOXP1.The POLYPHEN and SIFT software were used to do the function prediction. Results In 4 patients,four missense mutations were found in FOXP1 exon region,P42S,H53Q,L68R,and M590V.And there were the negative results in the detection of copy number variation.After the function prediction,the four rare mutations might not have an important impact on the protein. Conclusion In the Han Chinese population,the FOXP1 gene may not be one of the important autism disease-causing genes.

Key words
