Abstract
Association of autism with tetrasomy of chromosome 15 has recently been described in six males. In this report, we describe the occurrence of autism in a girl with tetrasomy of chromosome 15. The patient showed hyperactivity, hand-flapping, short-stature, eye abnormalities, and hypotonia, which have been reported in males with tetrasomy of chromosome 15. This suggests that autism may be associated in both sexes with a distinct syndrome characterized by tetrasomy of chromosome 15, mental retardation and characteristic physical features.Keywords
