Transcriptomic and cellular decoding of regional brain vulnerability to neurogenetic disorders

How neurodevelopmental disorder-associated risk genes are translated into spatially patterned brain vulnerabilities is unclear. Here, the authors show that disorder-specific patterns of neuroanatomical changes are aligned to brain expression maps of disease risk genes in healthy subjects.
