Identification of a functional rare variant in autism using genome-wide screen for monoallelic expression.

Abstract excerpt

Recent work has led to the identification of several susceptibility genes for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and an increased appreciation of the importance of rare and de novo mutations. Some of the mutations may be very hard to detect using current strategies, especially if they are located in regulatory regions. We present a new approach to identify functional mutations that exploit the fact that many rare...
