Using behavioral and genetic information from the Autism Genetics Resource Exchange (AGRE) data set we developed phenotypes and investigated linkage and association for individuals with and without Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who exhibit expressive language behaviors consistent with a motor speech disorder Speech and language variables from Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) were used to develop a motor speech phenotype associated with non-verbal or unintelligible verbal behaviors (NVMSD ALL) and a related phenotype restricted to individuals without significant comprehension difficulties (NVMSD C) Using Affymetrix 5 0 data, the PPL framework was employed to assess the strength of evidence for or against trait-marker linkage and linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the genome Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was then utilized to identify potential genes for further investigation We identified several linkage peaks based on two related language-speech phenotypes consistent with a potential motor speech disorder chromosomes 1q24 2, 3q25 31, 4q22 3, 5p12, 5q33 1, 17p12, 17q11 2, and 17q22 for NVMSD ALL and 4p15 2 and 21q22 2 for NVMSD C While no compelling evidence of association was obtained under those peaks, we identified several potential genes of interest using IPA Conclusion Several linkage peaks were identified based on two motor speech phenotypes In the absence of evidence of association under these peaks, we suggest genes for further investigation based on their biological functions Given that autism spectrum disorders are complex with a wide range of behaviors and a large number of underlying genes, these speech phenotypes may belong to a group of several that should be considered when developing narrow, well-defined, phenotypes in the attempt to reduce genetic heterogeneity
