The plots are of significance levels for linkage of autism to genetic markers on chromosomes 7 and 4 expressed as −log 10 of the _P_-value. The top row (a, c) is for families with a strict diagnosis of autism and the bottom row (b, d) is all families, some with a broader diagnostic classification. The left panes (a, b) are for chromosome 7 and the right panel (b, d) are for chromosome 4. Lines are: all, all families; MO, male-only families where all affected subjects are male; FC, female containing families where at least one affected subjects is female; reg+, regression positive families; reg-, regression negative families; phrase, age-at-first phrase as a quantitative trait; word, age-at-first word as a quantitative trait. Locations of chromosome 7 genes are indicated by arrows. WBS, Williams-Beuren syndrome region (85.34–87.4 cM). Bars at the top of (a) are locations of autism linkage signals from other studies.
