Functional impact of global rare copy number variation in autism spectrum disorders

Dalila Pinto, +181 more
- 15 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genome-wide characteristics of rare (<1% frequency) copy number variation in ASD are analysed using dense genotyping arrays to reveal many new genetic and functional targets in ASD that may lead to final connected pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide scan for common alleles affecting risk for autism

Richard Anney, +170 more
TL;DR: In one of four primary association analyses, the association signal for marker rs4141463, located within MACROD2, crossed the genome-wide association significance threshold of P < 5 × 10−8 and, consistent with the winner's curse, its effect size in the replication sample was much smaller.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual common variants exert weak effects on the risk for autism spectrum disorders.

Richard Anney, +148 more
TL;DR: Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study is reported, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed, and it is reasonable to conclude that common variants affect the risk for ASD but their individual effects are modest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption at the PTCHD1 Locus on Xp22.11 in Autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability.

Abdul Noor, +55 more
TL;DR: Genetic analysis in thousands of patients and control subjects suggests that the PTCHD1 gene may be part of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is important in embryonic development, and suggests that this locus is involved in ~1% of individuals with ASD and intellectual disability.
