Case Report: Whole Exome Sequencing Unveils an Inherited Truncating Variant in CNTN6 (p.Ser189Ter) in a Mexican Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The article presents a case study of a 10-year-old autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patient with paternally inherited Contactin-6 (CNTN6) protein. Topics discussed include the behavioral symptoms presented by the patient such as aggression and ritualized activities which confirmed ASD at the age of three, results of the genomic scan performed by whole-exome sequencing (WES), and the characteristics of the additional single-nucleotide variants observed in the patient.
