Targeted sequencing identifies 91 neurodevelopmental-disorder risk genes with autism and developmental-disability biases

Holly A.F. Stessman, +60 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: Twenty-five genes showing a bias for autism versus intellectual disability and a network associated with high-functioning autism are highlighted, and clinical follow-up for NAA15, KMT5B, and ASH1L highlighted new syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and genotyping of structural variation from long-read haploid genome sequence data

TL;DR: Interestingly, when the authors repeat SV detection on a pseudodiploid genome constructed in silico by merging the two haploids, it is found that ∼59% of the heterozygous SVs are no longer detected by SMRT-SV, indicating that haploid resolution of long-read sequencing data will significantly increase sensitivity of SV detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Patterns of De Novo Mutation in Simplex Autism

TL;DR: Patients are more likely to carry multiple coding and noncoding DNMs in different genes, which are enriched for expression in striatal neurons, suggesting a path forward for genetically characterizing more complex cases of autism.
