Figure 2. Genetic contribution of CNTNAP2 to Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Figure 2

CNTNAP2 is expressed in brain regions important for social cognition, language and implicit learning such as the frontal cortex (red), the anterior temporal cortex (blue) and the basal ganglia (green). Its contribution to the clinical phenotype is seen as an influence on the development and function of these brain circuits.
