Abstract
We report four patients with a similar gain in 5p13.2 encompassing a single gene: SLC1A3. Behavioural problems resembling ADHD and/or autism-like features are observed which is in line with the glial glutamate transporter role of SLC1A3.We consider an association between SLC1A3 and the behavioural problems which can also be considered a contributing factor to behavioural problems in larger duplications overlapping the 5p13 microduplication syndrome region.
