Autism Tissue Program identifier is depicted by ATP ID#. The age, postmortem interval (PMI), Bioanalyzer 2100 RNA integrity number (RIN), present call (%P) and Affymetrix 5′:3′ GAPDH ratio were not significantly different across the two groups (two-tailed t-test = 1.00, 0.17, 0.91, 0.65 and 0.99, respectively).
