Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present an 8.9 year old girl diagnosed with autism and macrocrania. Because of macrocrania, hypertelorism and epidermal punctiform lesions in the palm of the hand, Gorlin syndrome was clinically suspected and molecularly confirmed by finding a deletion of 22 base pairs in the PTCH1 gene. The possibility of an association between autism and Gorlin syndrome is discussed.
