Genomic analysis of 116 autism families strengthens known risk genes and highlights promising candidates

Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with a strong genetic component in which rare variants contribute significantly to risk. We performed whole genome and/or exome sequencing (WGS and WES) and SNP-array analysis to identify both rare sequence and copy nu...
