TL;DR: Findings establish de novo germline mutation as a more significant risk factor for ASD than previously recognized.

TL;DR: Using exome sequencing, it is shown that analysis of rare coding variation in 3,871 autism cases and 9,937 ancestry-matched or parental controls implicates 22 autosomal genes at a false discovery rate of < 0.05, plus a set of 107 genes strongly enriched for those likely to affect risk (FDR < 0.30).

TL;DR: The largest exome sequencing study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to date, using an enhanced analytical framework to integrate de novo and case-control rare variation, identifies 102 risk genes at a false discovery rate of 0.1 or less, consistent with multiple paths to an excitatory-inhibitory imbalance underlying ASD.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of datasets for multiple psychiatric disorders showed a significant association of the microduplication with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism, while the reciprocal microdeletion was associated only with autism and developmental disorders.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that bullying is a common phenomenon among children who are psychologically disturbed, and Bullying also elevates the probability of being referred for psychiatric consultation.
