Journal ArticleDOI
A general framework for estimating the relative pathogenicity of human genetic variants
Martin Kircher,Daniela Witten,Preti Jain,Brian J. O'Roak,Brian J. O'Roak,Gregory M. Cooper,Jay Shendure +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of CADD to prioritize functional, deleterious and pathogenic variants across many functional categories, effect sizes and genetic architectures is unmatched by any current single-annotation method.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is estimated that LGD mutation in about 400 genes can contribute to the joint class of affected females and males of lower IQ, with an overlapping and similar number of genes vulnerable to contributory missense mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sporadic autism exomes reveal a highly interconnected protein network of de novo mutations

Eichler,Evan E. Eichler +24 more
TL;DR: It is shown that de novo point mutations are overwhelmingly paternal in origin (4:1 bias) and positively correlated with paternal age, consistent with the modest increased risk for children of older fathers to develop ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Recurrent De Novo CNVs, Including Duplications of the 7q11.23 Williams Syndrome Region, Are Strongly Associated with Autism

TL;DR: A genome-wide analysis of rare copy-number variation in 1124 autism spectrum disorder families, each comprised of a single proband, unaffected parents, and, in most kindreds, an unaffected sibling, finds significant association of ASD with de novo duplications of 7q11.23, where the reciprocal deletion causes Williams-Beuren syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The modified molecular inversion probe method was applied to 44 candidate genes to identify de novo mutations in a large cohort of individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder, supporting the notion that multiple genes underlie autism-spectrum disorders.
