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

Convergence of Genes and Cellular Pathways Dysregulated in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Dalila Pinto, +131 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in affected versus control groups (1.41-fold, p = 1.0 × 10(-5)) and an increase in affected subjects carrying exonic pathogenic CNVs overlapping known loci associated with dominant or X-linked ASD and intellectual disability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole genome sequencing resource identifies 18 new candidate genes for autism spectrum disorder

Ryan K. C. Yuen, +89 more
- 06 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: Se sequencing of 5,205 samples from families with ASD, accompanied by clinical information, creating a database accessible on a cloud platform and through a controlled-access internet portal that identified 18 new candidate ASD-risk genes and found that participants bearing mutations in susceptibility genes had significantly lower adaptive ability.
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.
