[66] [68] [69] Controls that carry mutations associated with autism or schizophrenia typically present with intermediate cognitive phenotypes or fecundity compared to neurodevelopmental cases and population controls. [70] Therefore, a single mutation can have multiple different effects depending on other genetic and environmental factors.
PDD-NOS was one of four disorders collapsed into the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5, [3] and also was one of the five disorders classified as a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) in the DSM-IV. [4] The ICD-10 equivalents also became part of its definition of autism spectrum disorder, as of the ICD-11.
So far, only loss-of-function mutations such as stop-gain or frameshift mutations have been reported as directly related. Most, but not all mutations might give rise to a truncated protein. [9] If neither parent is found to carry the change in the ADNP gene, the chance of having another child with ADNP syndrome is very low.
Classic autism, also known as childhood autism, autistic disorder, or Kanner's syndrome, is a formerly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder first described by Leo Kanner in 1943.

The protocol consists of a series of structured and semi-structured tasks that involve social interaction between the examiner and the person under assessment.
Parents carrying the deletion often have no history of intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 10 ] Prevalence of 16p11.2 deletion syndrome was initially estimated to be 3 in 10,000 in the general population, [ 3 ] [ 11 ] though more recent estimates have increased to 1 in 2,000.
