Article Synopsis
- Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are complex neurodevelopmental conditions marked by challenges in social interaction, communication, and behavior, but the genetic factors behind them remain largely unexplained, despite their high heritability.
- Researchers conducted whole exome sequencing on 100 individuals from 40 families with multiple affected cousins to pinpoint genetic variations linked to ASD, using advanced genomic analysis techniques.
- The study uncovered several damaging genetic variants in both previously unrelated genes and known autism candidate genes, indicating a possible connection between ASDs and other neurobehavioral disorders such as depression and epilepsy.
