I cut and pasted this from the abstract of some academic article which I found on the Internet a while ago, but the full article wasn't available:
"One form of Asperger syndrome (ASPG1) has been mapped to chromosome 3q, and another, ASPG2 (608631), has been mapped
to chromosome 17p. Two X-linked forms, ASPGX1 (300494) and ASPGX2 (300497), are associated with mutation in the NLGN3 gene (300336) and the NLGN4 gene (300427), respectively."
So my question is (if anyone happens to know), is there some mapping of symptoms to the four different forms of AS? I mean, could one look at oneself and say, "Oh, I am a hyperactive-OCD-blablabla etc. type of Aspie, therefore I must be ASPG1" -- or something like that?
Wow, it would be really hard to demonstrate which forms caused which traits, at least conclusively.

The reason I am asking is because I thought it would be fun to have a T-shirt which says something like "Mutation in the NLGN3 gene (300336)" but I don't want to go and print the wrong thing on my shirt.
How incredibly geeky! I love it!
